I wonder if the cgconfig initscript is doing it perhaps, and getting triggered in a %post from an RPM script. In any case, you ought not need to reboot the host - restarting libvirtd will get it to re-create its cgroups. > Can I configure qemu/libvirt not to use cgroups at all as a temporary > workaround? How would I do that? Simply don't mount any on the host and libvirt won't use them. On RHEL6, the 'cgconfig' initscript is what mounts them at boot.
