site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: darwin-dev@lists.apple.com I need to set up multiple development environments on my Macbook Pro and don't want to trash the default Mac OS X installs of apache etc... A Jail would simplify things considerably. I hope Mac OS X ports over FreeBSD Jails or Solaris Zones as soon as possible! Its sorely needed. Parallels or VMWare is over kill and resource intensive. Jails are lightweight. I really can't believe Jails aren't in Mac OS X. What a shock! How about Xen? Maybe thats feasible if Jails are missing. -Juan On Thursday, July 30, 2009, at 11:47AM, "Mo McRoberts" <lists@ilaven.net> wrote:

I haven't found any information on this.
Darwin doesn't include the jail() syscall, nor zones, but sandboxing in 10.5+ may let you achieve the same thing (I haven't looked deeply at it)—sandboxing seems to be mostly designed as a more advanced form a chroot(), rather than a way to run a pseudo-virtualised environment (possibly with its own IP or dedicated NIC assigned, along with other selected physical resources).
