[libvirt] failed to mount cgroup

[Yin Olivia-R63875]

Hi,

I tried to run libvirt-1.0.2 with LXC as below, but it failed to mount cgroup.

1). mount /cgroup
# mkdir /cgroup
# mount -t cgroup cgroup /cgroup

# vi vm1.xml
<domain type='lxc'>
  <name>vm1</name>
  <memory>32768</memory>
  <os>
    <type>exe</type>
    <init>/bin/sh</init>
  </os>
  <vcpu>1</vcpu>
  <clock offset='utc'/>
  <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff>
  <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot>
  <on_crash>destroy</on_crash>
  <devices>
    <emulator>/usr/libexec/libvirt_lxc</emulator>
    <console type='pty' tty='/dev/pts/3'>
      <source path='/dev/pts/3'/>
      <target port='0'/>
    </console>
  </devices>
</domain>

# virsh -c lxc:/// define vm1.xml

# virsh -c lxc:/// start vm1

But if mount cgroup on another poinit, the error message is different.
2). mount /dev/cgroups

# mkdir /dev/cgroups
# mount -t cgroup cgroup /dev/cgroups
# virsh -c lxc:/// start vm1

# vi /var/log/libvirt/lxc/vm1.log
