I had earlier created /dev/cgroup but as it disappeared after reboot. Now I
don't see that issue but after the udev suggestion in the above wiki (I use
fedora 12 that uses udev).

I still can't get it to work :-(

[root@1-fedora ~]# vserver newdeb start
/usr/local/lib/util-vserver/vserver.functions: line 1506:
/dev/cgroup/newdeb/tasks: No such file or directory

Failed to start vserver 'newdeb'

[root@1-fedora ~]# mount | grep cgroup
none on /cgroup type cgroup (rw)
vserver on /dev/cgroup type cgroup (rw)

I do see files under /dev/cgroup.

[root@guhan-fedora dev]# ls -l /usr/local/etc/vservers/.defaults/cgroup
total 0
[root@guhan-fedora dev]# ls -l /lib/udev/devices/cgroup
total 0

One interesting thing I found is : while /dev/cgroup/newdeb/tasks does not
exist, I can see that /dev/cgroup/<pid>/tasks exists where pid "seems" to be
the pid of "vserver newdeb start" command.
