CloudLinux Health Check False Positive CageFS Warning on cPanel 134+

If you run CloudLinux with CageFS on a cPanel server that was upgraded to v134 or newer, you may see a false positive warning from cldiag. A fix is in progress. In the meantime, a simple workaround resolves it.

What you’re seeing

The CloudLinux health check / cldiag reports a failed CageFS mount point check:

...
Check cagefs mount points exists:
FAILED: There are missing mount points: ['/usr/local/cpanel/htdocs']
Command for disabling this cron checker: "cldiag --disable-cron-checkers check-cagefs-mount-points-exist"
...Why this happens

cPanel v134 removed the /usr/local/cpanel/htdocs directory. On servers that were originally set up with an older cPanel version, this path was included in the CageFS mount points file (/etc/cagefs/cagefs.mp). After upgrading to v134 or newer, the path no longer exists, but CageFS still references it, triggering the warning.

The fix

We are preparing a CageFS package update (cagefs-7.6.31-1) that will resolve this issue. Follow the status page for this incident for updates on the release.

Workaround

Until the update is available, you can resolve the warning manually.

1. Back up the mount points file:

cp /etc/cagefs/cagefs.mp /etc/cagefs/cagefs.mp.bak

2. Remove the following line from /etc/cagefs/cagefs.mp:

!/usr/local/cpanel/htdocs3. Verify the warning is resolved:

cldiag -a
