I just finished setting up SB/CP/SAB in their own jails.

I'm not too familiar with them, but if each jail is like a VM, isn't it a waste of resource to have them each in their own jail? Would it make sense to just have a generic jail, and add all 3? Maybe other stuff that is lightweight and doesn't need its own jail. (Sql?)

Something to that effect?

jails take almost no resource, there's usually only like 2-3 processes running in them, unlike a VM that is emulating a kernel.

As for having multiple plugins installed to the same jail, you can still do that. on the Jails tab you can select a jail and upload PBIs to it from http://download.freenas.org/plugins/9/x64/.

A draw back to having them all in one is that you can't just rebuild one when ever you want. Also if the jail gets broken somehow you would have to rebuild everything.
