Hi, Just tried to start an existing vm. Got the same error message. Martin Kho
Hi, Not sure if it's relevant but cgroup.service failed at boot time: [martin@ps-1866 ~]$ systemctl status cgconfig.service cgconfig.service - LSB: start and stop the WLM configuration Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/cgconfig) Active: failed since Wed, 13 Apr 2011 13:36:03 +0200; 3h 51min ago CGroup: name=systemd:/system/cgconfig.service Martin Kho
Hi, An update (libguestfs?) solved this issue. Please close this report. Thanks, Martin Kho

Hi, I'm getting again the error: libvirtError: Unable to create cgroup for $VIRTIMAGE: No such file or directory Checking the logs I see: May 19 13:38:30 piernb libvirtd: 13:38:30.440: 1643: error : qemuSetupCgroup:199 : Unable to create cgroup for $VIRTIMAGE: No such file or directory May 19 13:38:30 piernb libvirtd: 13:38:30.452: 1643: error : qemuRemoveCgroup:350 : internal error Unable to find cgroup for $VIRTIMAGE May 19 13:38:30 piernb libvirtd: 13:38:30.452: 1643: warning : qemudShutdownVMDaemon:3115 : Failed to remove cgroup for $VIRTIMAGE I was able to solve it by modifying the configuration in the file /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf: cgroup_controllers = [ ] I'm using the latest F15, with the testing repo enabled.
I am also experiencing this error in a fresh install of Fedora 15.
Same "unable to create cgroup" problem for me. Using updated rawhide.
I hit this on Fedora 15 GA. I (re)started cgconfig, then restarted libvirtd and I was able to start my VMs again. It looks like cgconfig is crashing. I didn't see an abrt alert, so I didn't catch the crash. -Heath
The works with the latest rawhide (so with systemd 28-1)
This would seem to be a dupe of 666130. - Justin
*** Bug 709164 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Restarting cgconfig fixes it here too, it was also in a failed state here.
Does anyone know what is actually causing these errors? Perhaps more importantly, does anyone care? Restarting libvirtd is a fairly painful workaround, particularly when one hits the error while creating a new VM (since everything has to be re-entered).
This is a systemd bug already being tracked. Closing as DUPLICATE *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 678555 ***
