Hi Redd,

What is the output of "df /jail"?  Is that directory on the same mounted
filesystem as any other directories?

I assume that you executed "rm -rf /jail" after you moved your jail
directories to /jails?  If you've done that, it may not hurt to fsck the
device to make sure there aren't any filesystem problems.

Regards,
Greg
