CPU-pinning still makes use of the first core (Core 0). But I have allocated all performance cores to my Gaming-VM. But even when the Gaming-VM is turned off the first core is still getting used. (like 50% usage). This must be incorrect as Core Isolation has isolated cores 0-15.
Is there something wrong with Core Isolation?
If Unraid still makes use of Core 0. Why can you select it then as an isolation core? I think it's better to make Core 0 unselectable then.
It would be nice to have Unraid run on Core 16 (First efficiency core). This way I can ensure the all 8 performance cores / 16 threads are only provided to my Gaming-VM. And in terms of power efficiency it’s also worth it. Efficiency cores are using less power than performance cores. Efficiency cores are also fast enough to run Unraid tasks on. I will isolate Core 16 then for Unraid only.
I already have saved about 30 watts just by running Docker and my other VM’s only on the Efficiency cores.
It would be nice to see an update in the future to change the core Unraid is running on. Since P and E cores came out Core 0 is not always the best option anymore.
If this is possible, this will result in:
1: A faster Gaming-VM (now using 7 cores instead of 8 )
2: Less power-usage because P-cores are most of the times inactive. Because I don't game very often.
