Clarification of 'Unified hierarchy' section
Hello. I am not a kernel hacker-class Linux expert, but I can understand details if I read well-written material carefully enough. That said, I can not make any sense of the first paragraph under the section 'Unified hierarchy', though my intuition (based on some obvious facts) tells me that something important is to be stated there. (BTW, I mean no snarky criticism of non-native English speakers' writing.)

Can someone perhaps begin to clarify that paragraph?

 * Hello there! That's already on my to-do list, and if you check history of the article  that I've already been against the same blurred description you're complaining about.  At the same time, you can have a look at User talk:ScotXW § "Unified hierarchy" section in cgroups article for a related discussion. &mdash; Dsimic (talk | contribs) 19:57, 1 June 2014 (UTC)


 * I modified the paragraph to make it more readable based on what I could make of it. However I beleive that it could just be scraped as it offers no facts but an insight on software desing principles German Jaber (talk) 00:30, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

Namespaces

While namespaces cover the general topic of virtualization and are often used together with cgroups they should not be explained in this article. I'd appreciate a dedicated article for namespaces in Linux.

Note: The LXC article links to Cgroups#Namespace-isolation

EDIT: I just added it myself and linked to it in the namespace section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Roxxik (talk • contribs) 01:31, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

What does "isolate" mean with respect to resource usage?
Re: "isolates the resource usage"

I understand limiting resource usage, but what does "isolate" mean here?

The common English meaning is to make something separate or apart. How is the resource usage made separate?

Does "isolate" here mean processes are moved to their own exclusively allocated cores or CPUs?

I'm guessing it's just a language mistake to use "isolate" in this explanation. If so, the word should be removed.
