\/home\/virtfs folder is used to chroot the user into jailed shell. Cpanel will hard link files into this directory so deleting files in \/home\/virtfs will also delete the files on the server in the actual location. (example: rm \/home\/virtfs\/user\/etc\/exim.pl will delete \/etc\/exim.pl)<\/p>\n
If a user is reporting double the quota and it is from \/home\/virtfs then we need to umount or kill and hanging jailshell process. To do this run<\/p>\n
ps aufx |grep user |grep jailshell<\/p>\n
If there are no jailshell processes then run<\/p>\n
cat \/proc\/mounts<\/p>\n
It will show,
\n\/dev\/root \/home\/virtfs\/user\/lib ext3 rw,data=ordered,usrquota 0 0

You will need to unmount each of these by running
\numount \/home\/virtfs\/user\/tmp and so on<\/p>\n
You can also run<\/p>\n
for i in `cat \/proc\/mounts |grep virtfs |grep user |awk ‘{print$2}’`; do umount $i; done<\/p>\n
Make sure to replace user with the cpanel username in the above command. This will then clear up the files in \/home\/virtfs and the quota should return to normal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
