Bug ID: 283672
Summary: Chapter 17 Jails - download urls should use uname for
machine type.
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: Books & Articles
Assignee: doc@FreeBSD.org
Reporter: william@firstyear.id.au
While testing jails in an aarch64 virtual machine, I made the silly mistake of
not checking the arch in the download url for the release tar. This led to me
creating a thin jail that was amd64, which failed to start with an exec format
error.
It's probably a rare occurance, but it would be good to have the `fetch`
commands listed with uname -m in the urls to pick the correct machine type to
download automatically to prevent users making the same mistake.
