Which could well be empty, which in turn puts one back in the position of dealing with a newborn cpuset that is empty (of cpus or of memory), or else it introduces a new and odd constraint on when cpusets can be created (only when there are non-exclusive cpus and mems available.) > An option is fine with me, but without such an option at all, cpusets > could not be applied to namespaces... I wasn't paying close enough attention to understand why you couldn't do it in two steps - make the container, and then populate it with resources. But if indeed that's not possible, then I guess we need some sort of option specifying whether to create kids empty, or inheriting. -- I won't rest till it's the best ...
