The 'blkio' controller will refuse to allow creation of any child cgroups. This will cause the libvirt warning you see below. It will also break the 'ns' cgroup, because that *requires* that you can create child cgroups when creating a new container. > root@redbreast:/tmp# mount | grep cgroup > none on /var/local/cgroup type cgroup (rw) > > In the log, i can find the following: > 15:35:58.853: debug : virCgroupMakeGroup:496 : Make controller > /var/local/cgroup/libvirt/lxc/ > 15:35:58.853: warning : lxcStartup:2109 : Unable to create cgroup for > driver: Operation not permitted Daniel
