I still don't know how that option works. If they're virtual cpus, do they map to real cpus? Is this option what's required for UML instances to use both CPUs? All I know is the switch is there, I've no idea how it works, and I'd be interested to know.

Actually, I use UML on one server in my firm. I want to migrate my server

My kernel version is 2.6.12.2 with skas mode on host.

My understanding is that each UML instance will see only one processor. You can run twice as many UMLs on a machine (at least as far as CPU
time), but each machine only gets one CPU.
