I did not find a solution with 2.0.8, so I moved on to 2.1. The lxc.cgroup.dir seems to do what I want. Unfortunately, the cgroup configuration process seems to change settings outside of the cgroup/dir pointed to be lxc.cgroup.dir, namely, sets cgroup.clone_children to 1 when it should be 0.
I have asked about this latter issue on the lxc forum at https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/t/why-cgroups-are-setup-as-they-are/1313/2 John On Wed, 2018-02-28 at 22:58 +0000, Marshall2, John (SSC/SPC) wrote: Hi, At the moment I am using LXC 2.0.8 (ubuntu 16.04) and have noticed a change in behavior since previous releases of LXC I have used (1.x and 2.0.5, I believe). I've not yet narrowed when the change happened. My goal is to start an LXC container within an existing (arbitrary) cgroup. Previously, I was able to run lxc-start from within a cgroup and the new LXC cgroup would be created under it. I used lxc.cgroup.pattern=%n in lxc.conf. Is there any way to do the same thing with v2.0.8? I see that 2.1 has lxc.cgroup.dir which appears to do what I need, but I am trying to do this with 2.0.8, at least for now.
