- Specify a bandwidth rate on particular device for root group. The format
for policy is "<major>:<minor> <byes_per_second>".
- echo "8:16 1048576" > /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/blkio.read_bps_device
+ echo "8:16 1048576" > /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/blkio.throttle.read_bps_device
Above will put a limit of 1MB/second on reads happening for root group
on device having major/minor number 8:16.

specified in bytes per second. Rules are per deivce. Following is
the format.
- echo "<major>:<minor> <rate_bytes_per_second>" > /cgrp/blkio.read_bps_device
+ echo "<major>:<minor> <rate_bytes_per_second>" > /cgrp/blkio.throttle.read_bps_device
- blkio.throttle.write_bps_device
- Specifies upper limit on WRITE rate to the device. IO rate is
specified in bytes per second. Rules are per deivce. Following is
the format.
- echo "<major>:<minor> <rate_bytes_per_second>" > /cgrp/blkio.write_bps_device
+ echo "<major>:<minor> <rate_bytes_per_second>" > /cgrp/blkio.throttle.write_bps_device
- blkio.throttle.read_iops_device
- Specifies upper limit on READ rate from the device. IO rate is
specified in IO per second. Rules are per deivce. Following is
the format.
- echo "<major>:<minor> <rate_io_per_second>" > /cgrp/blkio.read_iops_device
+ echo "<major>:<minor> <rate_io_per_second>" > /cgrp/blkio.throttle.read_iops_device
- blkio.throttle.write_iops_device
- Specifies upper limit on WRITE rate to the device. IO rate is
specified in io per second. Rules are per deivce. Following is
the format.
- echo "<major>:<minor> <rate_io_per_second>" > /cgrp/blkio.write_iops_device
+ echo "<major>:<minor> <rate_io_per_second>" > /cgrp/blkio.throttle.write_iops_device
Note: If both BW and IOPS rules are specified for a device, then IO is
subjectd to both the constraints.
