When enable a remote partition, I found that: cd /sys/fs/cgroup/ mkdir test mkdir test/test1 echo +cpuset > cgroup.subtree_control echo +cpuset > test/cgroup.subtree_control echo 3 > test/test1/cpuset.cpus echo root > test/test1/cpuset.cpus.partition cat test/test1/cpuset.cpus.partition root invalid (Parent is not a partition root) The parent of a remote partition could not be a root. This is due to the emtpy effective_xcpus. It would be better to prompt the message "invalid cpu list in cpuset.cpus.exclusive".
