What I was checking was that a single physical cpu with four cores actually counted as four cpus insofar as kvm itself was concerned. I have allocated guests their processors on the basis that 1 core = 1 cpu. But it occurred to me that core might actually mean something different and so I wanted to verify my understanding. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
