You can use source upgrade, or "brand new" binary upgrade http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2007-11-10-freebsd-minor-version-upgrade.html http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2007-11-11-freebsd-major-version-upgrade.html I have test machine, where I upgraded host system from 6.2 to 7.0-BETA4 and Jails are still 6.2. Everything works withou any problem. (but this machine in not heavily loaded) Or if you want, you can upgrade host kernel and world and then jails world. Miroslav Lachman
