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) Status: New => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to libvirt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/827538 Title: libvirtd fails to start qemu domains after having its cgroup changed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/827538/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
