How to hide subdirectories in CageFS?

For example we'd like to hide the /opt/scripts and the /opt/databases directories for users, but the /opt is mounted in the /etc/cagefs/cagefs.mp.

Environment

• CloudLinux
• CageFS

Solution

There is a solution on how to hide a directory inside mount point.

1. Create the /etc/cagefs/empty.dirs/custom.empty.dirs file with list of directories to hide. In this example, with /opt/scripts and /opt/databases.

2. Run the following command:

cagefsctl --remount-all
