Jails :: Deleting or Reconstructing .warden-files-cache

[Marcet]

Hi all,

After some mistakes I've ended up with bad ownership and possibly bad permissions on .warden-files-cache directory.
Can I just stop the jails, delete it and then restart the jails ?
Would it reconstruct or is there another way ?

I'm running only two plugins at the moment : Emby and Transmission.

If you've broken ownership and permissions, probably a good idea to create a new jail root and migrate the data in the jails.

Thanks to @m0nkey_'s help. I finally succeed to repair my Jail environment.

Here is what I've done :

1. Stop the plugins (Plugins->Installed->Service Status->OFF)
2. Stop the jails (Jails->View Jails->Stop)
3. Create a dataset for each Jail on <new-location>
4. rsync -av /mnt/tank/jails/<jailname>/ /mnt/<new-location>/<jailname>/
5. rsync -av /mnt/tank/jails/.<jailname>.meta /mnt/<new-location>
6. rsync -av /mnt/tank/jails/.plugins /mnt/<new-location>
7. Change the JailRoot (Jails->Configuration>Jail Root)
8. Reboot (I think it's optional)
9. Start the Jails if not autostarting (Jails->View Jails->Start)
10. Start the plugins (Plugins->Installed->Service Status->ON)
11. Install whatever plugin to recreate .warden-files-cache and .warden-template-pluginjail
12. Delete step 10 installed plugin
13. Test everything is OK
14. Delete old Jails dataset
15. Enjoy
