[Lxc-users] Can't start container with cgroup limits

Thu Apr 25 10:47:32 UTC 2013

Hello again,

I'm facing a strange issue (a bug maybe ?) on ubuntu 12.04. Creating a simple container (lxc-create -t ubuntu -c cn0) and adding these lines in the config file:

lxc.cgroup.memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes = 1G
lxc.cgroup.memory.limit_in_bytes = 512M
lxc.cgroup.cpu.shares = 512

results in:

lxc-start: write /sys/fs/cgroup/memory//lxc/cn0/memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes : Invalid argument
lxc-start: failed to setup the cgroups for 'simple'
lxc-start: failed to setup the container
lxc-start: invalid sequence number 1. expected 2
lxc-start: failed to spawn 'simple'

The problem is probably the "//" in the path  /sys/fs/cgroup/memory//. 
Anyway to fix this ?

Kind Regards
Robin
