Hi Doug, As you may guess from my multiple emails, I'm in the process of upgrading my jails :-). Since I have one jail per service, a very few number of configuration files are modified on each jail. As most of user of FreeBSD I think, I'm used to run "mergemaster -iU" to automate the process as much as possible. The problem with service jails (chapter 15.6.1 of the handbook) is that / is read-only mounted on all jails, /etc /var /root and a few other places being symlinks to /s, the private read-write space of each jail. Thus when mergemaster tries to update /boot/devices.hints it fails and abort. Therefore I've implemented a new -I option that does the same thing as -i except that it will proceed on failure. At the end of the process, it will also show an informational message about files that could not be installed. This patch along with the fix I sent you a few hours ago allows to use mergemaster(8) in service jails flawlessly.
