Have you considered running the Linux distro of your choice on bhyve
rather than in a jail? I have a Debian 8.2 running on FreeBSD
10.2/bhyve for sometime and I've had no problems whatsoever. You will
need grub-bhyve (sysutils/grub2-bhyve). I have a separate ZFS volume
(volmode=dev) for this VM, and it's networked on a tap bridged to the
system ethernet device. Its performance is great. On the same machine,
I have jails for different tasks, but I found bhyve to be a better
choice for running Linux based on my personal experience.

Emre.
