[balanga]

Is it possible the rename existing jails?

Out of curiosity, why do you want to?

It would be handy when having to recreate jails. I just come up with different names each time, which is kind of annoying. I don't think there is a built-in easy way. You might be able to rename the directories in the jails dataset and update host name related files inside the jail, but I've never tried it.

I didn't use meaningful names when I created a couple.... names like FreeBSD and FreeBSD2
