ezjail-admin update -u issue

Hi everybody,


I'm having an issue with ezjail on a FreeBSD server I have. We want to update the system and the jails to FreeBSD 10.1, but we can't because when we run ezjail-admin update -u we get the following output:
Code: 
root@host:/usr/jails/newjail/usr # ezjail-admin update -u

It's saying "no such file or directory" even though the directory structure is there in /newjail. It's also adding an extra / between newjail and usr. Not entirely sure if that matters though. I've already archived our jail(s) and re-installed ezjail so I’m not entirely sure what the deal is. Any suggestions? Thanks.
 
Okay, I see. Thank you. I'll play around with the mountpoints to see if I can make the error go away. I had a feeling it may have been a bug with ezjail since another admin I know is having the same issue. Do you know if the developer is aware of this bug?
 
I don't know if the ezjail developer knows of the bug. I too have see the same issue since I've been using ezjail (~3 years). I didn't dig in to it until I read this forum post because I was on vacation. Maybe this week I'll send the developer or file a PR.

I wouldn't create any null mounts to change the way ezjail works. I was just using that as an example showing why it shows those errors. You can just ignore (or so I think) those errors.
 
Okay, fantastic. I'll just ignore it for now since it seems to be a harmless issue and I know I'm not the only person experiencing it. Thank you so much for your help Derek!
