Here is how I start qemu: -numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0-1 -numa node,nodeid=1,cpus=2-3 -smp sockets=2,cores=2,threads=1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
