Hi Steve,

Thanks for the suggestions. I don't have any runit run script for
virsh as it's just a client tool for libvirtd, and libvirtd only has a
sysvinit script.

In any case, as you can see in my reply to Bob, I solved the problem.
It was indeed a problem with environment variables in
/etc/default/libvirtd, as the /etc/init.d/libvirtd init script is by
default expecting to mount the cgroups itself, and I am already using
cgroupfs-mount for that due to docker requirements.

Setting the correct environment variable in /etc/default/libvirtd to
tell the libvirtd init script to not try and mount cgroups itself
appears to have fixed the problem.
