*Makes this a tiny support ticket* :)
A bit of cursory googling around for that error didn't find anything particularly insightful, surprisingly. Most of the references were extremely obscure.
The only consistent theme I saw was "cgroups is not loaded or broken", but that doesn't make sense: systemd depends on cgroups, IIUC. And cgroups itself was introduced in the 2.6.x era. Honestly the only idea I can think of is asking on unix.stackexchange.com or #archlinux on irc.libera.chat.
I'm curious what syscall failures `strace -o cgcreate.txt -s999 -v -f cgcreate -g cpu:cpulimit` might reveal.
I'm also very interested to know whatever the root cause ends up being!
TIL that the cooling_deviceN trick does that on some systems. On the boxes I have here it basically slows everything to a crawllllll, especially if turned up to 11.
I've always looked at `cpulimit` as somewhat of an awkward hack. Yes, it works, but it's like bit-banging vs hardware I/O, or CPU vs GPU, or rapid polling instead of push/async. I kind of squint plaintively at it a bit. If it was all I had in an 11th hour situation then sure, but if I was deploying something to production I wanted to forget about? Eeeeeehh....
