@loqs But where to add this parameter?
systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=true
Comment by loqs (loqs) - Friday, 04 December 2020, 11:43 GMT
See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_parameters
Comment by Robert (robson) - Tuesday, 08 December 2020, 00:00 GMT
Indeed, after adding this entry
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=3 systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=true"
in /etc/default/grub fixes it.

Unfortunately, I have the following error with your suggestion: cgroup2: Unknown parameter 'memory_recursiveprot'.
Do any of you have an idea about this?

Comment by Robert (robson) - Tuesday, 08 December 2020, 22:55 GMT
And did you reload it after the GRUB edition?
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Comment by toma (Toma) - Wednesday, 09 December 2020, 08:15 GMT
Indeed I did reload it after the GRUB edition.
Could it be a compatibility issue with the kernel I am using (5.4.81 LTS)?
Comment by Robert (robson) - Wednesday, 09 December 2020, 11:29 GMT
It looks like this bug appears only in linux-lts, I installed this kernel for a testand I got this bug
kernel: cgroup2: Unknown parameter 'memory_recursiveprot'
kernel: proc: Bad value for 'hidepid'

Heads Up:

Debian have recently switched to cgroup v2 by default [1]. It appears Fedora did same in Oct '19.

If/when it works on LTS kernel then maybe Arch should follow suit.

Perhaps both the initial issue and the issue with cgroup2 and linux-lts should be reported upstream.

Scheduled in systemd@v248: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/749c4c8ed1769dd5d69705f02a8319dbf6c8ff17

Feel free to test systemd 248rc4 from testing...
Comment by Robert (robson) - Monday, 22 March 2021, 11:11 GMT
Indeed, in version 248, the cgroups error disappeared.
