Although it is written it can be done, I have to ask why you decided to do it this way? base distribution only takes about 128MB of disk space, and nearly nothing for RAM (by today's disk and RAM sizes). I recommend each jail have their own world installed, preferrably the same world because since the jails share the world with the hosts' kernel, and world+kernel must be kept in sync, setup a host on release, and all jails on a release too. I'm currently experimenting (for fun) a -stable host, and -release jails, which is unsupported. It gets a tad annoying when you manage multiple jails that it has no concept of already built ports and to use them, so I find myself cancelling out of a lot of builds to install the package created from another jail. > Issue #2: My lack of understanding has me in a mess currently.
