cannot create /sys/fs/bpf/snap directory: No such file or directory

i reinstalled acestream package and snapd…any idea for a fix or workaround?

Your system seems to be in a weird state. You indicated that this is a Ubuntu 20.04 installation, but the system appears to be using cgroup v2 which is a feature that was only made available in Ubuntu 21.10. What’s more, this seems to be incomplete as /sys/fs/bpf mount appears to be missing. Are you using some custom kernel?

Please attach the output of:

snap version
ls -l /sys/fs/cgroup
stat -f /sys/fs/cgroup

thanks for your reply. Im using qnap linux based on ubuntu 20.04

This is slightly unexpected. Can you also attach the output of:

sudo stat -f /sys/fs/bpf
sudo ls /sys/fs

sunevil · January 25, 2022, 12:02pm

of course:

ls -l /sys/fs/

Can you confirm that there is BPF support for cgroups (CONFIG_CGROUP_BPF) is enabled in the kernel you have? Usually this will be either exposed via /proc/config.gz or there can be a file under /boot eg. /boot/config-5.4.0-42-generic on Ubuntu 20.04. Since it’s a custom kernel the setup might be a little different, so you’ll have to figure it out ourself or just ask QNAP.

Also, since the system is using cgroup v2, snapd will install a BPF program in the cgroup of a snap to perform device filtering. If your kernel is built without CONFIG_CGROUP_BPF snaps will not work. In this case I suggest you contact the vendor who provided this kernel and ask them to enable the feature.
