How to downgrade cgroup version on DietPi

DietPi an extremely lightweight Debian OS is using cgroup v2 on Raspberry Pi, but this causes warning when using snap packages…

Use snap package usage that causes a warning.

$ snap run lxd --version

WARNING: cgroup v2 is not fully supported yet, proceeding with partial confinement
4.20

Display currently used cgroup version.

$ findmnt -lo source,target,fstype,options -t cgroup,cgroup2

SOURCE  TARGET         FSTYPE  OPTIONS
cgroup2 /sys/fs/cgroup cgroup2 rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime

This warning is issued because we are using snap version 2.52 instead of least 2.53 according to Switch to “unified” cgroup hierarchy (cgroupv2) bug report.

$ snap version 

snap    2.52.1
snapd   2.52.1
series  16
debian  11
kernel  5.10.63-v8+

Inspect kernel boot parameters.

$ cat /boot/cmdline.txt 

root=PARTUUID=8b0ac6f5-02 rootfstype=ext4 rootwait fsck.repair=yes net.ifnames=0 logo.nologo quiet console=tty1

Append systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=0 parameter to not use cgroup v2.

$ sudo sed -i -e "1 s/$/ systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=0/" /boot/cmdline.txt 

$ cat  /boot/cmdline.txt 

root=PARTUUID=8b0ac6f5-02 rootfstype=ext4 rootwait fsck.repair=yes net.ifnames=0 logo.nologo quiet console=tty1 systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=0

Reboot operating system.

$ sudo reboot
