CageFS and /home over NFS

[teh]

Hello,

Im using centos 6 + latest stable cpanel + cloudlinux + cagefs.
/home is mounted and used over NFS.
After installing cagefs - apache outputs error 500 and error log shows:

"SoftException in Application.cpp:467: CageFS jail error Unable to determine realpath of /home/username (No such file or directory)"

... but /home/username exists and holds the user data.

Please advise - is cagefs compatible with nfs?

Thanks upfront.

Try running:
lvectl start
cagefsctl --remount-all

if that helps -- we will guide you how to fix the issue for good.

Yeah, that seems to work. Web sites are loading fine now ... until rebooting the server - that brings the old error. Whats wrong?

Basically, you have to make sure that lvectl start command is executed after NFS mounts are done.
Typically this command is executed when /etc/init.d/lvectl is executed on start up.
It makes "CageFS" to remember mount points for namespaces, so that it wouldnt pickup /backup, etc.. that often mounted later on.

Imho, the best way to handle such case, is to modify a script that mounts NFS partition, and add to the end of it /usr/sbin/lvectl start
