How to fix: “Error: /usr/sbin/lvectl destroy-and-recreate-all failed”
cagefsctl -M fails with error "Error: /usr/sbin/lvectl destroy-and-recreate-all failed"
I came across this error on a couple of new CloudLinux 8 servers running Plesk encountering users with newly imported/backup restored users from entering cagefs, with this error occurring when running cldiag --all
Check cagefs users can enter cagefs:
FAILED: Command 'unset BASH_ENV; su '$user' -s /bin/bash -c 'echo -n "Logged in as: $(whoami) - $(id -u) "; [ "$(id -u)" == "10005" ] && ls /var/.cagefs'' returned non-zero exit status 1.; Output was: "su: cannot open session: Cannot make/remove an entry for the specified session"
CloudLinux’s documentation says it’s caused by a missing /var/.cagefs folder and said to run the following as sudo/root (make sure you do it):
mkdir -p /var/.cagefs cagefsctl --force-update && cagefsctl -M
This however resulted in the following error:
cagefsctl --force-update && cagefsctl -M

Error: /usr/sbin/lvectl destroy-and-recreate-all failed
I logged into the server over SSH using a non-privileged user, and then elevate to root using su -
, which meant that in order to fix this I needed to add my non-privileged user to the wheel group by running the following command as root, replacing $user
with your username.
usermod -aG wheel $user
Then log out of SSH and log back in, and run the following:
sudo /usr/sbin/lvectl start sudo cagefsctl -M sudo reboot
Then, wait 30 seconds and log back in and run:
sudo cldiag --all
and you should get:
