NUMA nodes are assigned per region and you can have multiple devdax namespace with same NUMA node affinity.
dax0.1 and dax0.2 are examples. To recreate you can follow the below steps
root@...ntu-guest:/sys/devices/system/node/node3# ls
compact cpumap meminfo memory34 memory36 memory38 memory41 memory43 memory45 memory47 memory50 memory52 memory54 numastat uevent
cpulist distance memory33 memory35 memory37 memory39 memory42 memory44 memory46 memory49 memory51 memory53 memory55 subsystem vmstat
root@...ntu-guest:/sys/devices/system/node/node3#
root@...ntu-guest:/sys/devices/system/node/node3# for mem in memory*; do echo 0 > $mem/online; done
root@...ntu-guest:/sys/devices/system/node/node3# cd /sys/bus/dax/drivers
