Jail dying in 9.10

[Martin Aspeli]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile airsonos (via npm) in a jail on an up to date 9.10 FreeNAS, upgraded from 9.3.

First of all, creating a jail doesn't give it an IP address unless I reboot the NAS.

If I do, I can run "npm install -g airsonos" in the jail (I've also used pkg to install avahi and avahi-header, node and npm). After a while, it dies horribly. Ctrl-C or Crrl-Z unresponsive. I have to close the SSH session.

In the main FreeNAS shell I can see a dead process:

85830 0- T+J 0:28.75 npm (node)

Impossible to kill, even with -9 unless I reboot.

I also can't delete the jail in the GUI unless I reboot first.

What is going on?

Hardware specs? Build version (from System -> Information)?

These kinds of things were working well under 9.3, but I didn't attempt the exact same operation then.

Anything interesting in /var/log/messages on the FreeNAS system or the jail?

 

[Martin Aspeli]

No. Just logs of package installs.

I wonder if the issue is the same as the one described here: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/54714/

I can't even delete the jail from the freenas GUI.

No NFS involved, though, this is just a normal jail.

Hmm, might be an issue with npm.

Were you using jails on 9.3? If so, did you nuke the jails dataset and recreate so that you have the 10 template? That might fix your issue.
