Creating multiple jails

Jails are useful tool for achieving a certain level of virtualization. I have used jails in the past for creating sandboxes for testing of the Bacula project. Today, I will be setting up 7 jails, each for regression tests on different configurations. In the process, I'll show you some shortcuts that Ryan Lortie (desrt) told me about. It saves time. I'll also share some scripts that will help with the setup of various jail items.

This article should be read in conjunction with my other jail articles. It won't stand alone unless you are already familiar with jails and how to configure them.
