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.
