Limit server resources (cgroups)

[AlexG]

Hi everyone, I wonder if someone have issues with Limit server resources (cgroups) (CWP-PRO). I've setup a new policy and I tried to restart the service, there are the logs:

I have the same issue. Can't use this feature.

[studio4host]

for vps servers you need to disabled disk io limits

Yes you are right. Support team told me that on VPS KVM, this limits must be disabled.

Thanks for your reply.

[tinchocba]

Still not working properly... For example, CPU limit is not working.

I came across your diary.
It looks like the Disk I/O section of your server is not working.
Common errors on virtual servers such as vmware or kvm.
You want to use the drive speed limiter.
You must fix Disk I/O errors on your system.

Where you still want to use cgroups.
In the installation of Cgroup, put a checkmark in the disk I/O section
Save and restart the service will work.

Hi, I am using dedicated server still it's not working if i don't disable I/O limit. Is there have any solutions for it?
