Jails shell is blank and iocage console does nothing

[nocflame]

Hi,
I can no longer seem to get access to my jails.
I created a new one with a dhcp address and that one gets its ip but i cant access it.
Where to look for further errors?
Thanks

What is the output of iocage list?

And why are you obscuring your internal IP's in your screen shot?

Output is:
+-----+------------+-------+--------------+-------------+
| JID | NAME | STATE | RELEASE | IP4 |
+=====+============+=======+=========
| 7 | Duplicity | up | 11.2-RELEASE | X.X.X.X |
+-----+------------+-------+--------------+-------------+
| 8 | duplicity2 | up | 11.2-RELEASE | DHCP |
+-----+------------+-------+--------------+-------------+

What happens when you hit the options toggle on the far right of the jail row (in the GUI) and select shell?

Nothing, it just gives me a blank terminal...

Interesting... all my 11.2 jails are based on the 11.2 p6 release and I haven't seen any issues. I see yours say p7. I wonder if there is some issue with that image. I am out of my knowledge as far as telling you how to many fetch the p6 version to give that a try.

Have you tried stopping and starting the jails to see if you can get into them?

Yes, and the jail gets its ip from dhcp so something is working but its not responding on ssh or the cli, so as far as i can conclude the p7 release is broken on both my jails

@nocflame, I am experiencing the exact same issue. Did you happen to find a solution in your case?
Thanks, 3JL

Some additional info: also newly created jails show the same problem
Freenas version: FreeNAS-11.2-U7
jail version: 11.2

Alternatively: any approach on how to troubleshoot / converge towards the underlying problem would be equally appreciated... is there some sort of safe mode / reset for these jails or the shells?

The new 11.3 gave a clue! Permissions apparently are wrong.. The permission for that folder is set to drwxrwxrwx for root:wheel. The files have similar permissions. Any clue what this is supposed to be?
Thanks!

This fixed my jail, I changed the permissions to drxwr-wr-wx, which translates to

Code:

chmod -R 755 /your/jail/path

I hope that helps you if you hadn't already found an answer, I know this is a few months old.
