I've been trying to configure cgroups and have encountered some very
strange behavior. In particular, when I follow the instructions in
Documentation/cgroups/blkio-controller.txt I quickly reach an error,
$ cd /mnt
$ sudo mkdir -p cgroups/blkio
$ # Confirm it's not already mounted:
$ cat /proc/mounts
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
none /sys sysfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0
none /proc proc rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0
none /dev devtmpfs rw,relatime,size=1993264k,nr_inodes=498316,mode=755 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000 0 0

gvfs-fuse-daemon /home/ben/.gvfs fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=1000 0 0
$ sudo mount -t cgroup -o blkio none /mnt/cgroups/blkio
mount: special device none does not exist
I've done quite a bit of Googling and yet it's very difficult to find
good information on configuring cgroups. I would use the libcg
toolset[1] but every attempt to configure it has ended in frustratingly
vague error messages.
Any ideas?
Cheers,

If you give us a hint with what error messages you are getting, at the
very least we can work on fixing those up :-)

I suspect you didn't have blkio enabled in your kernel config.
So see if blkio is listed in /proc/cgroups or/and if CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP
is enabled in your kernel config.

Doh! I could have sworn I had enabled this. Sorry for the noise!
