Jail deletion - WARNING

[sretalla]

Just a warning more than anything for the others out there...

I had just upgraded to TrueNAS 12.0 Core after the release (great stuff).

I wanted to start upgrading my jails... and then I saw that I had an old jail not running since a few months that I should be able to get rid of, having replaced it... so I selected it in the GUI and used the delete function to delete it... fine, I thought...

Then I realized it had not only deleted that jail (called plex), but also deleted the other (still running) jail that I had replaced it with (called plexmediaserver-plexpass).

I guess that the explanation for it is somewhere in the first jail's name being a substring of the second, but that's a really poor result for a GUI operation that clearly should only operate on the selected jail.

WATCH OUT for those of you with similar/derivative jail names.

I am in the process of rebuilding my jail with the script that I had fortunately made during the making of the last one. Nothing lost as I store all my DB and config outside the jail.

This catches me out too.

Both will delete in the UI if I only select one.

Ah, so that's why the UI prevents creating a jail called 'plex' now when you already have one called 'plexmediaserver'.

After getting burned I started using CLI for making and deleting jails.

I assume there's a bug reported for this?
