Yes, this option is disabled.
This is a dual-xeon server with HT.
With HT looks 4 CPU.

In this config i need NUMA option enabled to use cpusets?

I only need to move my 4 gnbd-client process to 4 cpuset, but i don't want
to touch the memory.
This is possible, or need the CONFIG_NUMA=y option?

Thanks
