Hello friends.
I have one VPS where the virtfs folder is using 10 GB... and it's a PITA. I don't want to expand the server if I can delete all that files.
I readed a lot and followed instructions from here:
And continuing from this last thread link, I have to ask for the last and unanswered question:
Is it safe to remove the virtfs directory after getting it u-mounted?
I think I unmounted every account correctly:
Now that there are no mounts mentioning anything on /home/virtfs, can I delete this folder safely?
Should I verify anything else to be completely sure it is safe to delete?
BTW:
But the free disk space reported is roughly the same and low than before unmount the folders.
And if I open, i.e., /home/virtfs/*username*/etc/security I see a bunch of .conf files.
Help please!
(And thanks in advance!)
UPDATE:
After a couple hours, I rechecked the status of free disk space and I see again the old mount point at /home/virtfs/username/home/username
What's going on? Why is it coming again?
I run again this command:
and everything went back to normal, but still the /home/virtfs/username files are there.
I forceful rebooted the VPS. The mount point is now "/" as it should always be.
I will keep an eye on it to see if it stay that way or the /virtfs come back to action.
Maybe some cron job is rebuilding the mount every N seconds??

I readed a lot and followed instructions from here:
- VirtFS (Jailed Shell) to disable _VirtFS
- /home/virtfs/ consuming more space - eUKhost Official Web Hosting Forum
