So are multiple VMs using same disk. Then put multiple VMs in same
cgroup and apply the limit on that disk.
Or if you want to put a system wide limit on a disk, then put all
VMs in root cgroup and put limit on root cgroups.
I fail to understand what's the exact requirement here. I thought
the biggest use case was isolation one VM from other which might
be sharing same device. Hence we were interested in putting
per VM limit on disk and not a system wide limit on disk (independent
of VM).
