Lab 2.1 Can’t delete mycgroup.

Dumb question. But after doing the lab I’m unable to clean up and delete the cgroup that was created. I’m using the LF pre-built Ubuntu 18.04 on Vmware Workstation 15 Player. I’ve completed the lab successfully, but now I get this.

How do you clean up after this lab? Thanks.

Hi @ldt,
Where you able to successfully thaw the process as described by the lab guide? After successfully freezing and thawing that second terminal, where you able to terminate the terminal's process?
Ensure that no process is managed by any of the files inmycgroup/
, specifically ensure thatmycgroup/tasks
is empty, while all other files should be empty or include a0
.
Then try:[email protected]:/sys/fs/cgroup/freezer$ sudo cd mycgroup/ [email protected]:/sys/fs/cgroup/freezer/mycgroup$ sudo rm * [email protected]:/sys/fs/cgroup/freezer/mycgroup$ sudo cd .. [email protected]:/sys/fs/cgroup/freezer$ sudo rmdir mycgroup
If unsuccessful, try adding
-f
tosudo rm -f *

Hi @chrispokorni,
Thanks for your help. As I expected, after shutting down and restarting Ubuntu, mycgroup was gone. It is not permanent. But I was sure this was the answer to my problem since I had not killed the second terminal process. So I have repeated the lab and I am still unable to delete mycgroup.

For some reason I'm not getting the same result you do.
Thanks,

Can you try to only remove the mycgroup/ directory after you terminated the second shell process, skipping commands from lines (1-3)? Similar to this:
[email protected]:~$ sudo rmdir /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer/mycgroup/

OK. So
rmdir
works butrm *
doesn't.[email protected]:/sys/fs/cgroup/freezer$ sudo mkdir mycgroup [email protected]:/sys/fs/cgroup/freezer$ cd mycgroup [email protected]:/sys/fs/cgroup/freezer/mycgroup$ sudo rm * rm: cannot remove 'cgroup.clone_children': Operation not permitted rm: cannot remove 'cgroup.procs': Operation not permitted rm: cannot remove 'freezer.parent_freezing': Operation not permitted rm: cannot remove 'freezer.self_freezing': Operation not permitted rm: cannot remove 'freezer.state': Operation not permitted rm: cannot remove 'notify_on_release': Operation not permitted rm: cannot remove 'tasks': Operation not permitted [email protected]:/sys/fs/cgroup/freezer/mycgroup$ sudo rm -f * rm: cannot remove 'cgroup.clone_children': Operation not permitted rm: cannot remove 'cgroup.procs': Operation not permitted rm: cannot remove 'freezer.parent_freezing': Operation not permitted rm: cannot remove 'freezer.self_freezing': Operation not permitted rm: cannot remove 'freezer.state': Operation not permitted rm: cannot remove 'notify_on_release': Operation not permitted rm: cannot remove 'tasks': Operation not permitted [email protected]:/sys/fs/cgroup/freezer/mycgroup$ cd ..

I didn't even do the lab exercise here. I just created the directory and then tried to delete it. I was surprised first of all to find that
mkdir
not only creates a directory, but some how mysteriously creates content in it as well. Just as mysterious is that it can't be deleted in the normal way. I suppose that only seems strange to a novice, but at least I have a working solution to the problem. Thanks for your help.
