From: Jörg Sommer Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2011 19:59:45 +0000 (-0700) Subject: Documentation: update cgroupfs mount point X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f6e07d38078e;p=linux-beck.git Documentation: update cgroupfs mount point 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.
