Subject: [PATCH] cgroups: more documentation for remount and release_agent
Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2009 10:33:53 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <49A35C91.6000904@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)
This won't remove cpuacct from the mounted hierachy:
# mount -t cgroup -o cpu,cpuacct xxx /mnt
# mount -o remount,cpu /mnt
Because for this usage mount(8) will append the new options to the original
options.
And this will get you right:
# mount [-t cgroup] -o remount,cpu xxx /mnt
Also document how to specify or change release_agent.

when the hierarchy consists of a single (root) cgroup. Supporting
