Re: Easiest way to update jails from 9.0 to 9.1

Hi,

I created the jails by hand individually using the steps given in the FreeBSD handbook, can ezjail still be of use or am I going to have to reinstall world for each jail? How about mergemaster for jails (in dealing with updates to /etc )

Check the ports. I'm using sysutils/ezjail myself and am quite
pleased with it, but there are also lots of alternatives.
