Created attachment 240649 [details]
Patches to add support so users can mount fdescfs filesystem inside jails.

Iocage has no property to allow the user to mount the fdescfs filesytem inside a jail. This prevents one from running a Samba 4.16 Domain Controller inside a jail.

I modified/added the port patch files and the port Makefile to add support for this feature.

Now you can: iocage set allow_mount_fdescfs=1 <jail>.

Please add this, needed here too for samba controller in jail

FYI: merged upstream, but next release may never come…
https://github.com/iocage/iocage/pull/1294

The used patch is build from https://bugs.https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=240649 but not useable on 1.2, echoxzzz's is ok for that.
Comment 3 echoxxzz 2023-09-01 18:41:55 UTC 
The patches I uploaded where created using the last port 1.2_10.

May I upvote this?
I have the same situation - running Samba in  Jail.
To fix the problem, I build locally with Poudriere and apply local patch, but it would be better to have it without such hassle.
Also, upstream shows some fresh merges. Still no releases there...

There is a fairly straigthforward workaround this issue: mounting fdescfs from within the host.

With iocage, that's achieved by adding:

fdescfs /path/to/iocage/jails/jail_name/root/var/run/samba4/fd  fdescfs  rw,nodup  0  0

to the:

/path/to/iocage/jails/jail_name/fstab

file. iocage will automatically mount/unmount it on jail start/stop.

The only downside is `service samba_server stop/restart` (from within the jail) complaining about not being able to unmount it, but it works just fine.

hth,
