SOLVED Phantom created dataset

[1337Hacker]

This morning I awoke to the following email:

Code:

Embassy.local changes in mounted filesystems:
26a27
> Embassy/jails_2			   /mnt/Embassy/jails_2	zfs	 rw,nfsv4acls	0 0

-- End of security output --

I'm running 11.1-U6 and the dataset "jails" is used for, you guessed it, my jail data. There were no updates last night, and I didn't create the dataset. No one but myself has root or admin privileges, and no one has direct access to the system. How was the "jails_2" dataset created?

Perfect mystery in time for Halloween

Did you figure this out? If not, did you create a mount point for that jail?

I believe I understand why it's being created, but not how. Under Jails>Configuration, the Jail Root is jails_2. I assume this is for warden jails because I'm on the 11.1 train still. Now I don't understand why it's creating the dataset automatically since I have 0 warden jails or jails created through the WebGUI.

I would think that the 11.2 update would remove this from happening because warden is being phased out for iocage. I don't understand why the system in 11.1 magically creates an empty dataset without a request. It even does so at seemingly random times after deleting the dataset.

CASE CLOSED!
Now let's hope for a stable non-beta RELEASE on the 11.2 train.
