Bug Description

If libvirtd's cgroup is changed after it starts, then it fails from then on when trying to start a kvm domain.

The workaround is to 'stop libvirt-bin; start libvirt-bin' and hope cgred does not re-classify it.

While I think it is feasible to fix this, I don't think the patch would be acceptable upstream.

I'm going to mark it wontfix (because i do see it as a bug) and open a bug against cgroup-bin about the broken libvirt-cgroup-wait.conf, so at least libvirt wont' start until init has been reclassified to /sysdefault.

Changed in libvirt (Ubuntu):
