i want to chmod all files in a dir in a jail, is it not right syntax? jexec -l jailname chmod 755 /home/foo/bar/*

i get error dir not found but just before that line i run jexec -l jailname ls -la /home/foo/bar/ and see files in it

nvm

polyex, I think they are all sleep in here sorry

polyex: escape asterisk, otherwise it is expanded by your shell *before* running that command

Hi.. the FreeBSD docs for MAP_NOSYNC mentions write()ing zero's - is there any reason why you couldn't use posix_fallocate for the task?
