As someone who would consider himself a fairly well-seasoned Linux sysadmin, I have just been burnt by attempting to remove /home/virtfs, and gathering by the number of threads that show up in a search, there are probably 100 other people who know what I'm going through. For the love of god...

I have a VPS, CentOS 5, Virtuosso, with some shell accounts. In WHM the accounts are only showing 3+ gb of space being used but the actual is over 8gb. Where are the best places to look for wasted space? Also, in the VirtFS directory in the home directory, some of the accounts are...

We have a user that has a jailshell that is uploading things to the /home/virtfs/<username? directory as it appears it is not linked to the real location of their home directory on another hard drive on the machine. Any thoughts?

Hello, I want to remove /home/virtfs. I know that it consists of hardlinks to actual system files, and I shouldn't do a rm -rf. Currently I don't have any users which have jailed shell enabled, but there is still one /home/virtfs/user directory. And I want to disable jailed shell completely...

Hi, what is Virtfs Directory ? if we remove this what will happen ? Regards, ePhlox

Okay, I understand about virtfs, where it comes from, etc (an account manager accidentally gave somebody jailshell access). None of our other users have it. Anyway. I've unmounted the user's space from /proc/mounts. But the space is still showing up. Another problem is that the backup...

Does deleting /home/virtfs cause cpanel log in issues?

Hello All, Just thought I'd share my recent cPanel support exchange. It all started when a user reported that they were over their quota, by what they thought was surely an error. Upon further investigation, the "Disk Space Used" reported in the user's cPanel was almost exactly double...

I see in the virtfs directory (I know not to delete!) there are several usernames and of course all the files inside each username. The problem is the directory is using up all the customers diskspace and after running find / -user username I see he is the owner of all these files but really...
