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

$ 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,
