Delete remaining stuff from iohyve?

[-fun-]

Hi All,

I have datasets remaining for iohyve from ancient times. All my jails have long been moved to iocage. Now there are two datasets left over: ´iohyve´ with some child datasets like ´Firmware´ or ´ISO´ with more child datasets.

Also there is a dataset ´jails´ which I had configured for individual jails. This contains:

root@unger:/mnt/flospool/jails # ll
total 44
drwxr-xr-x 3 www www 3 Oct 27 2015 .plugins/
drwxr-xr-x 5 root wheel 5 Oct 28 2015 .warden-files-cache/
drwxr-xr-x 18 root wheel 22 Mar 24 2017 .warden-template-pluginjail-10.3-x64/
drwxr-xr-x 18 root wheel 22 Nov 18 2017 .warden-template-pluginjail-11.0-x64/
drwxr-xr-x 18 root wheel 22 Oct 28 2015 .warden-template-pluginjail-9.3-x64/
drwxr-xr-x 17 root wheel 21 Nov 22 2015 .warden-template-standard-9.3-x64/
drwxr-xr-x 17 root wheel 23 Nov 22 2015 .warden-template-VirtualBox-4.3.12/


Can I safely delete these datasets?

-fun-

iohyve and iocage are not the same type of thing... you may have migrated warden jails to iocage, but if you have VMs you need to think carefully before deleting anything to do with iohyve (still valid as a system to control bhyve VMs).

You can probably delete the warden stuff safely.

So if I don't have any VMs running it should be safe to delete all of this?

Taking a closer look I find a dataset 'archtemp' in 'iohyve' which contains a zvol 'disk0'. In archtemp there are a grub.cfg and a device.map file. The zvol has 4GiB. Is this relevant for bhyve, if so, how?

If I want to establish a new VM in the future can FreeNAS recreate whatever is needed?

Should be the case. Sounds like you're fine to delete. (due diligence ultimately falls to you)
