Hi!

There are two ways:

1) If directory /usr/share/cagefs-skeleton is not created yet,
you can execute
$ mkdir /home2/cagefs-skeleton
$ ln -s /home2/cagefs-skeleton /usr/share/cagefs-skeleton
before executing "cagefsctl --init"
After that, "cagefsctl --init" will create cagefs-skeleton in new location (/home2/cagefs-skeleton)

2) Otherwise, If directory /usr/share/cagefs-skeleton already exists,
please execute the following:
$ cagefsctl --disable-cagefs
$ cagefsctl --unmount-all

Then ensure that the following command prints empty output:
$ cat /proc/mounts | grep cagefs
If not, execute "cagefsctl --unmount-all" again.

Then move cagefs-skeleton directory to new location and create symlink.
$ mv /usr/share/cagefs-skeleton /home2/cagefs-skeleton
$ ln -s /home2/cagefs-skeleton /usr/share/cagefs-skeleton

Then enable CageFS:
cagefsctl --enable-cagefs

Hi,

What is the correct procedure to move subject line from /usr/share/cagefs-skeleton to /home2. Should I just uninstall CageFS and re install using the info below? Or Physically move cagefs-skeleton to /home2 and run command ln -s /home/cagefs-skeleton /usr/share/cagefs-skeleton

This is found in Documentation. The server itself has been running for awhile and does have active accounts.

To install CageFS:
$ yum install cagefs
$ /usr/sbin/cagefsctl --init
That last command will create skeleton directory that might be around 7GB in size. If you dont have enough disk space in /usr/share, use following commands to have cagefs-skeleton being placed in a different location:
$ mkdir /home/cagefs-skeleton
$ ln -s /home/cagefs-skeleton /usr/share/cagefs-skeleton
On cPanel servers, if you will be placing skeleton into /home directory, you must configure the following option in:
cPanel WHM WHM -> Server Configuration -> Basic cPanel/WHM Setup -> Basic Config -> Additional home directories
Change the value to blank (not default "home"
Without changing this option, cPanel will create new accounts in incorrect places.
