How to Disable Disk Space Warnings with Files
Last modified: January 14, 2025
Overview
This document explains how to disable disk space warnings with files. You can configure disk space warnings with files in the following ways:
- Use the
/var/cpanel/chkservd_ignored_mountsfile to disable disk space monitoring for selected mount points. This method will prevent disk space warnings from mount points that always report as full, such as thesnapdservice. - Use the
/var/cpanel/disablediskfreecheckfile to bypass disk space warnings. This method will allow users to perform functions that cPanel & WHM would otherwise prevent due to disk space constraints, like changing account settings in WHM.
The /var/cpanel/chkservd_ignored_mounts file
Each line in the /var/cpanel/chkservd_ignored_mounts file must include a single mount point to ignore.
Important:
- Entries must contain alphanumeric, English language characters.
- Entries may also include the slash character (
/). - Separate each line with a newline (
\n) character. - You can only disable monitoring for an entire mount point (For example,
/var). You cannot disable monitoring for the last segment of a mount point (for example,/var/tmp).
For example, to prevent disk space monitoring alerts for the snap and tempbackup mount points, add the following entries to the /var/cpanel/chkservd_ignored_mounts file:

The /var/cpanel/disablediskfreecheck file
To bypass disk space warnings, create the empty /var/cpanel/disablediskfreecheck file.
Warning:
Bypassing disk space warnings means that cPanel & WHM could run out of disk space. Running out of disk space can cause a variety of issues, including website failures.
