Hmm, on whose behalf are you making this decision? LSB people will want to avoid using /cgroup, but I think a lot of admins will likely prefer /cgroup (as I do). On my systems I always use /cgroup, but would be more likely to use /mnt/cgroup over /dev/cgroup. lxc (at lxc.sf.net) rightfully takes the cgroupfs from wherever it happens to be mounted. Do you really need a mountpoint decided? If you do, then while I DETEST the extra typing, I think /sys/kernel/cgroup makes most sense, since that's where you find debugfs and securityfs. -serge -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
