From f6e07d38078e82a6aeaae00bb134591ef5ac1167 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jörg Sommer Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2011 12:59:45 -0700 Subject: Documentation: update cgroupfs mount point MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit According to commit 676db4af0430 ("cgroupfs: create /sys/fs/cgroup to mount cgroupfs on") the canonical mountpoint for the cgroup filesystem is /sys/fs/cgroup. Hence, this should be used in the documentation.
