I would like to use a freebsd system with binary packages only. I want
to heavily use the jail concept. All the documentation about jails
implies the use of buildworld into the jails.
In order to avoid any compilation time, I installed a minimal base
system for the host and I nullfs mounted read-only every system
directory (bin, sbin, etc) into my jails. Then, in order to be able to
install additional software inside the jails, I unionfs mounted
read-write empty directories ontop of the nullfs read-only system
directories.
So I only have to freebsd-update the host and then freebsd-update each
jail in order to keep updated.
What about this kind of setup ? do I miss something ?
