Thin provision or thick provision?ΒΆ

iocage supports two provisioning types, thick (default) and thin. Thin is basically a ZFS clone of the base jail. If you plan to replicate the jail over the network with ZFS send/receive use the default thick provisioning! This will create a fully independent jail copy which can be sent over the network with ZFS send/receive.

Create a normal jail

iocage create tag=myjail or just iocage create

Create a thin jail

iocage create -c tag=myjail
