CageFS-skeleton data

[m.rahnev]

I have two servers with Plesk 12.5 and CloudLinux 7. On first system directory /usr/share/cagefs-skeleton/ contains mostly empty subdirectories and all is about 144 MB.

On second installation the same directory contains all my databases and proc. Its about 40 GB. I wonder this is normal? If not how can I solve this problem? Can I safely rebuild cagefs skeleton?

First situation (144Mb) is not normal. Estimated size for cagefs-skeleton is ~6-8Gb , it depends from system and number of installed software, but mostly depends from config files in /etc/cagefs/conf.d/ directory .

As well /var/lib/mysql/ is mointed inside cagefs-skeleton, so if you have large databases they are counted towards used skeleton space.

Can I safely exclude databases from cagefs? /var/lib/mysql is mouted on SSD disks but cagefs not. I think this situation can make negative effect for performance.

Actually the only mysql.sock is needed. Please check my older reply in this thread: https://www.cloudlinux.com/forum/for...929#reply-4663
