It looks like a similar question may have been asked on this list some time ago (https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-jail/2014-June/002577.html <https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-jail/2014-June/002577.html>), but there were no replies. I am new to jails, so perhaps I am just doing something wrong.
I am running FreeBSD 10.3, with several jails built using ezjail-admin using the instructions at https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/jails-ezjail.html <https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/jails-ezjail.html>. I also enabled ZFS in ezjail.conf. The basejail was created from binaries using “ezjail-admin install,” and contains the sources (-s), man pages (-m), and a ports tree (-P). I for a couple of patch releases, I have updated the basejail with binary updates using freebsd-update by executing “ezjail-admin update -u.” Each time, I have observed that it seems to update the existing files fine, but does not add the new files that are part of the update. For example, the update for 10.3-RELEASE-p13 updated many files, removed some files, and added several files. However, "ezjail-admin update -u” does not appear to be able to add the new files into the basejail. For example, invocation "ezjail-admin update -u” to update to 10.3-RELEASE-p13 ended in some errors for adding the new files (sorry, I didn’t capture the output of that invocation). However, these errors are repeated with subsequent invocations of "ezjail-admin update -u,” which is reproduced below: $ sudo ezjail-admin update -u Password: Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 4 mirrors found.
