RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description haiyang,dong 2012-10-25 10:04:03 UTC

Description of problem:
/etc/init.d/cgconfig does not work well:
report "Starting cgconfig service: Error: cannot create directory /cgroup/cpuset" by execute service start/restart

[root@localhost admin]# /etc/init.d/cgconfig start
Starting cgconfig service: Error: cannot create directory /cgroup/cpuset
Loading configuration file /etc/cgconfig.conf failed
Cgroup, operation not allowed
Failed to parse /etc/cgconfig.conf                         [FAILED]
[root@localhost admin]# /etc/init.d/cgconfig restart
Stopping cgconfig service:                                 [  OK  ]
Starting cgconfig service: Error: cannot create directory /cgroup/cpuset
Loading configuration file /etc/cgconfig.conf failed
Cgroup, operation not allowed
Failed to parse /etc/cgconfig.conf                         [FAILED]

[root@localhost admin]# chkconfig |grep cgconfig
cgconfig               0:off        1:off        2:on        3:on        4:on        5:on        6:off

so default this cgconfig service was on, but /etc/init.d/cgconfig does not work well

Comment 3 Mike Burns 2012-10-25 13:41:59 UTC

Sounds like we need a new entry in rwtab, and possibly need to pre-create the directory.

Comment 5 RHEL Program Management 2012-10-26 00:40:42 UTC

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.  Product
Management has requested further review of this request by
Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat
Enterprise Linux release for currently deployed products.
This request is not yet committed for inclusion in a release.

Comment 6 Mike Gahagan 2012-11-20 13:51:13 UTC

So just to get things straight, This looks like an artifact of / being mounted read-only in RHEV-H rather than a bug in libcgroup. I'm a bit confused because as as far as I know libcgroup has been using /cgroup since RHEL 6 was released so I don't think this is a regression. I suppose the default mount point could be changed to /sys/fs/cgroup but I don't know how disruptive that may be to existing configurations.

Comment 13 Mike Gahagan 2013-01-09 20:24:39 UTC

I have confirmed that cgconfig will now work with a mount point specified on a read-only fs. I think we can mark this one verified, but I would like to hear from the RHEV-H folks that it is working in their environment first.

Comment 16 Mike Gahagan 2013-01-09 21:14:08 UTC

The version tested in comment 13 was 0.37-7.el6.
