Moving Jail Root

[Mr Onion]

Being a complete noob, I configured the jail root on the 'wrong' drive (I put it on the drive with my media that I want to access with plex)

I tried renaming it in Jails/Configuration but it does not 'stick'. Looking around the forum I have seen that I need to edit the database file, but I can not find how to do this. Any help is most welcome I am comfortable editing html/php/etc files and have the appropriate editor. I have no jails currently installed

FreeNAS-9.10.2-U1

You'll need to take a snapshot and send it to the other pool. Replace oldtank, newtank and jails with the correct values.

Stop all jails/plugins.

zfs snapshot -r oldtank/jails@snapshot
zfs send tank/jails@snapshot | zfs recv newtank

Then change your jail root.

Once your jails are moved, you can delete the old jails dataset.

I tried that and all I get is errors.

Code:

zfs snapshot -r Music/jails@snapshot
zfs send Music/jails@snapshot | zfs recv Data/jails

Existing jail is in Music, new jail will be in Data

The error I am getting

Code:

[root@freenas ~]# zfs snapshot -r Music/jails@snapshot                        
cannot create snapshot 'Music/jails@snapshot': dataset already exists          
no snapshots were created                                                      
[root@freenas ~]# zfs send Music/jails@snapshot | zfs recv Data/jails

I assume I am making another noob error, but being a noob I don't know what or where

It looks like you don't have any jails yet. Just create a new dataset on 'Data' and change the jail root.

I have just done that and I can not change the jail root in jails/configuration

 

[Mr Onion]

I have done a little bit more searching and found a reference to running this to delete the jail root

Code:

warden template delete pluginjail

but it errors with

Code:

ERROR: Not a ZFS volume: /mnt/Music/jails/.warden-template-pluginjail          
cannot open 'Music/jails/.warden-template-pluginjail': dataset does not exist 

Music/jails does exist

I'm still completely lost
