The option syntax is <code>--cgroup-root [''controller'':]/''path''</code> and it only makes sense on restore. Without this option CRIU would restore tasks and groups that live in the subtrees starting from the root task's dirs. When this option is given, the respective controllers' will get restoring starting from the give path instead.

The option syntax is <code>--cgroup-root [''controller'':]/''path''</code>. Without this option, CRIU restores tasks and groups that live in the subtrees starting from the root task's dirs. When this option is given, the respective <code>''controller''</code>s are restored under the given <code>''path''</code>s instead.
