Hi,
Created a small patch for 8.1 to add name support to /etc/rc.d/jail.
This doesn't upgrade /etc/rc.d/jail to the overhauled invocation of
8.0 but merely adds the ability to set a jail's name on start which
was added in FreeBSD 7.2 (May 2009).
Could this patch be considered to be applied to stable?
# diff -ruN /etc/rc.d/jail-8.1 /etc/rc.d/jail
[snip]
short answer: no
1) add -n <name> to the defaults of jail_<n>_flags in rc.conf and be done
just now. No need for a new variable.
2) you want to follow the new jail management on the freebsd-jail list.
I would expect that there will just be no further changes to the rc
script unless security related ones.

Hi All,
When starting a jail you can, as of 8.0 if I'm not mistaken, set the
JID and name for a jail. This change doesn't seem to have been
incorporated into the /etc/rc.d/jail script? Looking at
http://wiki.polymorf.fr/index.php/Howto:FreeBSD_jail_vnet it wouldn't
be a huge change to add name support. The other additions in that
script look a lot more intrusive. Are there any plans to merge this
patch into the jail rc-script or is this "v2" style of jail invocation
still considered to be experimental? As of 8.1 is seems to no longer
be considered experimental looking at the release notes.
The new style version was never considered "experimental". It wasn't
just not advertised that much due to the lack of 2) above.
The jail(8) documentation (mine lists FreeBSD 8.1 January 17, 2010)
seems to be missing documentation on the vnet command (due to the
experimental status)?
Right, vnets are still considered experimental.
