Solved Oops - iocage invoked incorrectly, can't delete zombie jail

[Bucky]

I meant to type something like this: iocage create -c tag=testing

but instead left off the 'c' after the hyphen, like this: iocage create - tag=testing

and now when I type this iocage list

I get this:

JID  UUID  BOOT  STATE  TAG
-  -  -  down  -

Any ideas how to kill this zombie?

I've had to do use the native jail(8) command, jail -r <jail>, on occasion to remove a jail when I had an issue with sysutils/ezjail. I haven't needed this yet with sysutils/iocage but I've just started using it.

Unfortunately, the zombie jail has no name, so jail -r <jail> has nothing to operate on. Maybe I need to report this to the author as a problem?

From jail(8)

-r Remove the jail specified by jid or name

You can get the JID with jls.

Yeah, I thought of that - no joy.

root@Xeon_Right ~ # jls

  JID  IP Address  Hostname  Path
root@Xeon_Right ~ #

returns nada. I'm still open to suggestions before I bug [pun] the author.

Hmm. Since the code in /usr/local/lib/iocage/ioc_info's __list_jails() function just queries all the ZFS properties I would think just doing a zfs destroy -r zroot/iocage/jails/<UUID> would be a workaround.

Certainly worth a try, standby... You are brilliant, that took care of it. Thanks and please mark this SOLVED!

Actually, for reference you can do this yourself with the thread tools dropdown -> edit thread -> mark as solved.

"the thread tools dropdown"? I've pointed at all the symbols presented and none are that. I'll try to find some documentation located elsewhere I guess. Thanks. Ack, never mind I just saw it up above the first message in the thread!
