January 16, 20188 yr I used this guide to isolate my CPUs to be used for my VM. I was wondering though, when the VM is off, can the isolated CPUs still be used for other dockers (Like Plex for transcoding)? Here's the code I used: append isolcpus=2,3,6,7 initrd=/bzroot in the syslinux config file, and <cputune> <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='2'/> <vcpupin vcpu='1' cpuset='3'/> <vcpupin vcpu='2' cpuset='6'/> <vcpupin vcpu='3' cpuset='7'/> <emulatorpin cpuset='0,4'/> </cputune> in the VM's XML.

Post your entire syslinux.cfg (the flash file that you posted a small excerpt from already.) from my experience, dockers can only operate on cores that are available to unRaid. did you reboot after making the changes for core isolation?

Not home- put the line at the end of my sysconfig filed though. Is it supposed to go elsewhere? I didn’t see something telling me where to put it. and yes, I rebooted.

Thanks a lot. I’ll try this when I’m home.
