If you rename a jail and later destroy a jail which has a dependent jail, "iocage destroy jailname" will list the original name of the dependent jail not the current one. See details below: --- % iocage list +-----+----------+-------+--------------+------------+ | JID | NAME | STATE | RELEASE | IP4 | +=====+==========+=======+==============+============+ | 1 | 2blog | up | 11.2-RELEASE | 172.16.1.3 | +-----+----------+-------+--------------+------------+ | 7 | 2sql | up | 11.2-RELEASE | 172.16.1.2 | +-----+----------+-------+--------------+------------+ | - | 2sql_old | down | 11.2-RELEASE | 172.16.1.4 | +-----+-------+-------+--------------+------------+ % sudo iocage destroy 2sql_old Password: This will destroy jail 2sql_old Are you sure?

I ended up destroying the wrong jail as well
