Setting up Jail destination error

[ric]

Recently upgraded my freenas system to 11.2. and relocated all my Jails to SSD and converted them to Iocage jail.

On the latest version of Freenas 11.2 the destination path of Transmission Jail, and found some issues when setting up mount points destination of Transmiision Jail. See below.

"Destination directory should be empty"

Were you able to resolve this?

You can't set up a destination for a mount point that already contains files. That's exactly what that error is telling you.

The media directory is where the sub-folder I've created for downloaded files. So how can I fix the error?

The media directory is where the sub-folder I've created for downloaded files. So how can I fix the error?

open shell

Code:

cd /mnt/your_dataset_for_jails/iocage/jails/transmission/root/usr/local/etc/transmission/home/Downloads
ls [to check content]
rm *.* [to delete everything]
ls [to check content again]

I reckon there is a better/simpler way to do it but I'm a windowz guy :(

I checked using following command to delete any file in . directory "rm *.* no such file or directory", and the directory is already empty.
