Hi,

newbie here!

I just installed docker.io on Devuan 6 sysvinit. doing sudo service docker restart gives:

Stopping Docker: docker.
mount: /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset: fsconfig() failed: cgroup: Unknown subsys name 'cpuset'.
       dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
mount: /sys/fs/cgroup/memory: fsconfig() failed: cgroup: Unknown subsys name 'memory'.
       dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
Starting Docker: docker.

What step i missed? what version of cgroups we are using?
