  • CageFS and symlinks

    Trying to figure this out?

  • #2
    Ok, so I have a bit of an unusual situation that Im trying to figure out, maybe someone can help me out here.

    Basically, I have one site that houses a ton of multimedia (around 20-30 gig). Rather than have this backed up every day, I threw this onto the /backup/ partition, in a specific directory which the user has complete and full rights to, and created a symlink in public_html for forum attachments (which is how the media is handled).

    Now, all worked grand UNTIL I setup CageFS. With CageFS enabled on this account, the user cant access the multimedia symlink, as its nonexistant, not available to them. Is there a way around this at all? Obviously, I COULD throw this into the user account directly, but then it would be rather impossible to back this up properly, so thats just not an option, realistically

      Tom, the only way we may propose is to open a /backup/ for all users, this could be done simply adding /backup/ to /etc/cagefs/cagefs.mp and cagefsctl --remount-all .

      In the future there will be a possibility to open desired directories to selected users only.

        Perfect, thats just what I needed. I can actually add /backups/subdirectory which the user has rights to, and it works excellently.
        Thank you
