I thought I'd post an update on this, I found the following article on
the web which is exactly the sort of info I was after (well, it pointed
me in the right direction anyway since I don't use ezjail and each jail
was created manually using the process documented in the FreeBSD
handbook + Jail manpage):
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-upgrade-freebsd-jail-vps/
Obviously I took care to backup all of my /etc directories from each
jail first. So far so good though :) All my jails appear to be working
fine.
It was pretty much a rinse and repeat of:
# make installworld DESTDIR=$JAILDIR
# mergemaster -i -C -D $JAILDIR
It was a bit laborious and time consuming, however a new "RELEASE"
doesn't come up that often so it wasn't a big deal, unlike linux where
there is a new distro version every couple of months.
Cheers,
Alex.
