NAME

       cgroupfs-mount, cgroupfs-umount - set up cgroupfs mount hierarchies

SYNOPSIS

       Control  groups  are a kernel mechanism for tracking and imposing limits on resource usage
       on groups of tasks.  These scripts mount and unmount the hierarchies for managing them.

       cgroupfs-mount

       cgroupfs-umount

DESCRIPTION

       The location for the mounts these  scripts  create  is  /sys/fs/cgroup,  which  is  widely
       regarded  as "the place" for these to be mounted (for example, systemd mounts them here as
       well).

RETURN VALUE

       Zero for success or if it is determined that we can or  should  not  mount,  due  to  user
       entries in /etc/fstab or pre-existing mounts.  Non-zero for explicit failures.

CAVEATS & DIAGNOSTICS

       It  is  critically  important  for  the  proper operation of these scripts that you do not
       manually include any  cgroup  mount  points  in  /etc/fstab.   After  commenting  out  any
       extraneous  cgroup entries in /etc/fstab, you should either reboot or manually umount them
       and then run cgroupfs-mount again.

RESTRICTIONS

       These scripts intentionally do not do any cgroup management  or  classification  of  tasks
       into  cgroups.  They are also very intentionally light on configurability (to the point of
       non-existence) to keep the implementation simple and less error-prone.
