Yes. And with the default rules, if libcgroup is installed *and* if libvirt does not wait until libcgroup is configured at boot, then VMs won't start up. So when just libvirt is installed, the above job is not needed (and not installed on the machine). When just libcgroup is installed, the above job will be installed, but since it starts on 'starting libvirt', it won't ever run if libvirt is not installed. > For cgroups integration, libvirt merely requires that something has > mounted the various cgroups controllers.

Yup, I definately don't want to suggest that there is anything wrong with what libvirt does. > On Fedora we do this with the 'cgconfig' init script which more or > less just runs 'cgconfigparse -l /etc/cgconfig.conf' to mount the > bits Right, and the above job just makes sure that the above has finished before libvirt starts. thanks, -serge -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
