I just upgraded my VPS to 9.2-RELEASE to save the hassle. I wanted to wait for FreeBSD 10 but at this rate I'll be waiting till the new fiscal year. Things are now running smoothly with ezjail anyway. I installed qjail 2.2, it doesn't (I couldn't find) the ability to designate a particular release to install as you can with ezjail, so I couldn't even install 8.4 into the jails. -- syn.bsdbox.co
