No. This mount option is what tells the kernel to create an independent, controller-less cgroup hierarchy, and that assigns it a name. > what is the reason for using this cgroup mount option ? systemd uses its own hierarchy for grouping things, and that's the once created with name=systemd. The other hierarchies are bound to controllers, and their purpose is hence resource managament, but for systemd that's not appropriate if all it wants to do is group processes in a hierarchal way and assign names to these groups.
