[lxc-users] disk IO limit

[Divya Vyas]

Hi ,

I am using two containers on top of disk /dev/sda  and I want to limit a
disk IO write speed to 1 mb/sec of one of the containers.

I gave this command ->
 echo "8:0 1048576" >
/sys/fs/cgroup/blkio//lxc/vm5/blkio.throttle.write_bps_device
But not getting the desired output.

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1000
1000+0 records in
1000+0 records out
512000 bytes (512 kB) copied, 0.00180087 s, 284 MB/s

Does anyone tried limiting the disk IO of only one container?
