Hi,

I just created a container with:

lxc-create -n test1 -t ubuntu

Copy /var/cache/lxc/trusty/rootfs-amd64 to /var/lib/lxc/test1/rootfs ...

##
# The default user is 'ubuntu' with password 'ubuntu'!
# Use the 'sudo' command to run tasks as root in the container.
##

added some restrictions to the config

cat <<EOF >> /var/lib/lxc/test1/config
lxc.cgroup.cpu.shares = 256
# restrict IO weight to 1/2 (range 10-1000)
lxc.cgroup.blkio.weight = 500
# limit memory
lxc.cgroup.memory.limit_in_bytes = 4G
lxc.cgroup.memory.soft_limit_in_bytes = 3G
# memory + swap limit (6G - 4G = 2G SWAP)
lxc.cgroup.memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes = 6G
# default 60
lxc.cgroup.memory.swappiness = 10
# untestet
lxc.cgroup.memory.oom_control = 0
EOF

and tried to start the container with:

lxc-start -d -n test1 -l debug -o /tmp/222

Is cgroup memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes broken in ubuntu 14.04 right now?
