it seems to fail on that:

sudo /usr/sbin/cgconfigparser -l /etc/cgconfig.conf
Loading configuration file /etc/cgconfig.conf failed
Cgroup mounting failed

etc/cgconfig.conf contains
# lots of comments
#
mount {
        cpu = /sys/fs//cgroup/cpu;
        cpuacct = /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuacct;
        devices = /sys/fs/cgroup/devices;
        memory = /sys/fs/cgroup/memory;
}

yes with the double //, removing it don't fix the problem

Thanks for submitting this bug report.

Can you reproduce this with the stock natty kernel?

[Baptiste Mille-Mathias (bmillemathias)]

Hi Serge,

yes I can, I though It could be caused by my custom kernel but it didn't.

[Baptiste Mille-Mathias (bmillemathias)]

Hmm actually I don't tested on the stock kernel, when I tested. I'm using an hosted server with a custom kernel provided by the hosting company, I'll try to test with a stock kernel and I'll come back to you (not sure when as I'm going to vacation soon).

[Serge Hallyn (serge-hallyn)]

Thanks for that. Unfortunately I can't reproduce it on natty myself.

You can also look through /boot/config* for CGROUP entries, which might
show the problem. I get:

$ grep CGROUP /boot/config-2.6.38-10-virtual
CONFIG_CGROUPS=y
# CONFIG_CGROUP_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_CGROUP_NS=y
CONFIG_CGROUP_FREEZER=y
CONFIG_CGROUP_DEVICE=y
CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT=y
CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR=y
CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP=y
