Hi All,

I’m having some trouble limiting my Pods access to the GPUs available on my cluster.

Here is my .yaml:

```
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: train-gpu
spec:
  containers:
    - name: train-gpu
      image: index.docker.io/myprivaterepository/train:latest
      command: ["sleep"]
      args: ["100000"]
      resources:
        limits:
          nvidia.com/gpu: 1 # requesting 1 GPU

```

When I run the nvidia-smi command inside of this pod all of the GPUs show up, rather than just 1.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Some information that may be useful:
