Hi folks,
using an unprivileged account for monitoring lxc-cgroup
returns a "permission denied" messages for something that
is world readable in the /cgroup directory. Sample:
% lxc-cgroup -P /data1/lxc -n jerry1 memory.usage_in_bytes
lxc-cgroup: tools/lxc_cgroup.c: main: 104 Insufficent privileges to control /data1/lxc:jerry1
% cat /cgroup/lxc/jerry1/memory.usage_in_bytes
286883840
Following the api I am forced to use root permission or some
hard-to-configure sudo constructs for monitoring. This is
pretty painful.
Do you think this could be improved?
lxc is version 2.0.5.
Thanx in advance
Harri
