We upgraded one of our hosts to FreeBSD-11.2p8. When we updated the
jails on that host using "ezjail-admin update -u" we received these
messages:
The following files will be added as part of updating to 11.2-RELEASE-p8:
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Qostanay
Installing updates...mkdir: /usr/jails/newjail//boot: No such file or
directory
mtree: mtree: /usr/jails/newjail//boot/kernel.old: No such file or
directory
/usr/jails/newjail//boot/kernel: No such file or directory
touch: /usr/jails/newjail//boot/kernel.old/.freebsd-update: No such
file or directory
Could not create kernel backup directory
However, ls shows this:
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 14 May 28 2018 /usr/jails/newjail/boot
-> /basejail/boot
This appears to me to be an error. Either the soft link should be
/usr/jails/newjail/boot -> ../basejail/boot
or
/usr/jails/newjail/boot -> /usr/jails/basejail/boot
The directory of /basejail has never existed on this system insofar as
I can determine.
However, examination of other hosts with ezjail installed have
identical entries in /usr/
The version of ezjail on this system is:
Name : ezjail
Version : 3.4.2_1
Installed on : Thu Nov 8 09:15:24 2018 EST
The last time we ran an ezjail update, on January 7, we did not get
this error. There is no history of anything ever being done directly
to /usr/jails/newjail or to /usr/jails/basejails. Further, the find
utility shows this:
find /usr/jails -name kernel.old
/usr/jails/basejail/boot/kernel.old
/usr/jails/mx31/basejail/boot/kernel.old
My questions are:
1. What does the error message mean?
2. Why is it reported now and not before?
3. How can it be eliminated or corrected?
Thanks,
