I don't have this on my proxmox 4 nodes. (cgmanager is running, but I don't have container running)


but I have a default

hugetlbfs on /dev/hugepages type hugetlbfs (rw,relatime)

It is still unclear to me how to setup hugepages. On my host /dev/hugepages 
is already mounted: 

# mount|grep hugecgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/hugetlb type cgroup 
(rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,hugetlb,release_agent=/run/cgmanager/agents/cgm-release-agent.hugetlb,nsroot=/) 
hugetlbfs on /dev/hugepages type hugetlbfs (rw,relatime) 
hugetlb on /run/lxcfs/controllers/hugetlb type cgroup 
(rw,relatime,hugetlb,release_agent=/run/cgmanager/agents/cgm-release-agent.hugetlb,nsroot=/) 

who mount that? Do I still need above setup? How do I know the number 
of required hugepages in advance? How can we make that more convenient for 
the user?
