Hi, I need to create a minimal jail install with as much data shared with the host as possible. So I believe I can read-only (null-fs) mount /bin and /usr into paths that fall in the jail's fs-space. I have tried /usr already (works fine - so long as I use /home for home directories instead of /usr/home). Since the jails are not meant for an ISP like setup, it would be acceptable for me to have non-writeable /bin, /usr/bin, /usr/local etc. I can use a nonstandard PREFIX for all custom packages I install inside the jail. Are there any howto's on this kind of setup? For example, most of the steps in "make installworld DESTDIR=?" looks redundant since I would be clearing the /usr and mounting from host later on. Any help is appreciated. BTW, I am on 4.8 Thanks -- Hari Bhaskaran
