jid's not refreshing after jail shutdown

[Jacob Whatley]

Hello group!

 

On 8.0 Release, our system is setup so that we specify the jid when a jail
is built, which we make numerical (ie, 1001, 1002, etc..). This works great
for consistency and for setup scripts. However, we are running into a
problem that after shutting down a jail (or group of jails) using 'jail -r
<jid>', when we attempt to start the jail(s) anew, we get the error:

 

jail: jail <jid indicated> already exists

 

Running jls shows no active jail for that jid. Is there something that we
can do to flush whatever buffer is holding the old jid data, so that we may
restart a dead jail with the same jid? Incidentally, this happens more often
than not, but occasionally and after a few minutes we can run 'jail -c
.....' and it will not bomb.

 

Thanks!
