I am experimenting with jails and ezjail on a FreeBSD-11.0 bhyve vm
guest. I followed the instructions in the handbook to install ezjail
and create a jail instance. I have connectivity issues with this jail
of which I have inquired in another message. However, in this case I
need to discover what the following error message is telling me:
ezjail-admin update -u

Could not create kernel backup directory
If these directories are required by ezjail-admin why then do they not
exist? If they are not automatically created by ezjail then why does
the handbook not mention this fact and provide guidance on their
creation?
The /boot directory is only used by the host system during the machine
boot process to load the kernel. Jails do not do this as they run under
the hosts kernel. I believe ezjail does not create this /boot directory
in the basejail for that reason.
As you can see in this error message
Installing updates...mkdir: /usr/jails/newjail//boot:
there are 2 // before boot this is a command syntax error.
I remember this problem being talked about on this list before as a
ezjail bug. Looks like it has not been fixed yet.
Check the jail & questions list archives for details.
