-2.4. Examples
+2.4. Buffered-io tracking
+bio-cgroup can be used to track buffered-io(in delay-write condition) and for 
+proper throttling. You can directly mount io-throttle and bio-cgroup together 
+to track buffered-io. An alternative choice is making use of bio-cgroup id. An 
+association between a given io-throttle cgroup and a given bio-cgroup cgroup can 
+be built by echo a bio-cgroup id to the file blockio.bio_id. This file is exported 
+for the purpose of associating io-throttle and bio-cgroup groups. If you'd like to 
+create an association, you must ensure the io-throttle group is empty, that is, 
+there are no tasks in this group. otherwise, association creating will fail. If an 
+association is successfully built, task moving in this group will be denied. Of 
+course, you can remove an association, just echo an negative number into 
+blockio.bio_id.
+
+Example:
+* Create an association between a given io-throttle group and a given bio-cgroup 
+group.
+$ mount -t cgroup -o bio bio-cgroup /mnt/bio-cgroup/
+$ cd /mnt/bio-cgroup/
+$ mkdir bio-grp
+$ cat bio-grp/bio.id
+1
+
+$ mount -t cgroup -o blockio blockio /mnt/throttle
+$ cd /mnt/throttle
+$ mkdir foo
+$ echo 1 > foo/blockio.bio_id
+
+2.5. Examples
 
 * Mount the cgroup filesystem (blockio subsystem):
   # mkdir /mnt/cgroup
