I just wanted to ask for some clarification on the creation of Warden Templates. I've included a screenshot which shows the growing list of Warden Templates in my system in the jails data store.
What I'm curious about is why I have almost double the amount of template files, as I do jails. And additionally, why I have templates for jail types that (to my knowledge) are not being used or haven't been created. i.e. the Ubuntu template, I'm pretty certain no jail is using Ubuntu.
In the grand scheme of things, it's only a couple GB I'm probably losing from this excess data, but from an organization perspective it drives me nuts looking at this, and I'd just like to understand how the warden template function really works. I'm imagining there should be a base template for the jails leveraging the pluginjail-x64, and perhaps some delta updates for changes to the core template. I don't understand however the need to have 6-7 of the same core template, and then 6 other extraneous ones as well.
Lastly, if I can remove or clean up some of these, how would I do so? I tried removing the Ubuntu one for example from the terminal, and was denied access even with sudo. And how could I protect myself (snapshots perhaps?) from damaging my current jails in case removing a template does break or cause issue with a jail that is currently running?
