So it appears that Cpusets certainly enjoys what I would call hierarchical process containers. I can't tell if your flat container space is just a "for instance", or you're recommending we only have a flat container space. If the later, I disagree. > So it appears > that the manipulation of containers would most effectively be done from > userspace by a syscall approach. Yup - sure sounds like you're advocating a flat container space accessed by system calls. Sure doesn't sound right to me. I like hierarchical containers, accessed via like a file system. -- I won't rest till it's the best ...
