[Devel] Re: cgroup tasks file error

[ccmail111]

Isn't ns mounted by default ?
I rebooted machine,
based on 2.6.32 kernel.

Then,

[host:~]$ mkdir /dev/cgroup
[host:~]$ mount -t cgroup cpuset -ocpuset,ns /dev/cgroup
[host:~]$ ps aux | grep libvirt
root       575  0.6  0.9  88816  2216 ?        Sl   17:28   0:00 myproc --daemon
root       654  0.0  0.2   4044   664 ttyS0    S+   17:29   0:00 grep libvirt
[host:~]$ mkdir /dev/cgroup/hello
[host:~]$ cat /dev/cgroup/hello/tasks
[host:~]$ echo 0 > /dev/cgroup/hello/cpuset.cpus
[host:~]$ echo 0 > /dev/cgroup/hello/cpuset.mems
[host:~]$ echo 575 > /dev/cgroup/hello/tasks
[host:~]$ cat /dev/cgroup/hello/tasks
575
[host:~]$ id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
[host:~]$

Now, I try to move the task out - the parent/root:

[host:~]$ echo 575 > /dev/cgroup/tasks
-bash: echo: write error: Operation not permitted


Any thoughts !?
