CPU
~~~
+[thumbnail="gui-create-ct-cpu.png"]
+
You can restrict the number of visible CPUs inside the container using
the `cores` option. This is implemented using the Linux 'cpuset'
cgroup (**c**ontrol *group*). A special task inside `pvestatd` tries
which has additional bandwidth control options.

+
+`cpulimit`: :: You can use this option to further limit assigned CPU
time. Please note that this is a floating point number, so it is
perfectly valid to assign two cores to a container, but restrict
overall CPU consumption to half a core.
cpulimit: 0.5

+`cpuunits`: :: This is a relative weight passed to the kernel
scheduler. The larger the number is, the more CPU time this container
gets. Number is relative to the weights of all the other running
containers. The default is 1024. You can use this setting to

Container memory is controlled using the cgroup memory controller.

to the `memory.limit_in_bytes` cgroup setting.

host swap space. This corresponds to the `memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes`
cgroup setting, which is set to the sum of both value (`memory +
swap`).
Mount Points
~~~~~~~~~~~~
+[thumbnail="gui-create-ct-root-disk.png"]
+
The root mount point is configured with the `rootfs` property, and you can
configure up to 10 additional mount points. The corresponding options
are called `mp0` to `mp9`, and they can contain the following setting:

You can configure up to 10 network interfaces for a single
container. The corresponding options are called `net0` to `net9`, and
