--- Begin Message ---Package: irqbalance Version: 0.55-2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable This is the current description of the package in Debian. irqbalance - Daemon to balance interrupts for SMP systems My understanding of a daemon is that the process keeps running in the background. But in case of irqbalance, the process silently exits. There are no messages logged into syslog or dmesg. I ran irqbalance in --debug mode and following is the output. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo irqbalance --debug Package 0: cpu mask is 00000003 (workload 0) Cache domain 0: cpu mask is 00000003 (workload 0) CPU number 1 (workload 0) CPU number 0 (workload 0) Interrupt 17 (class ethernet) has workload 59 Interrupt 0 (class timer) has workload 556 Interrupt 8 (class timer) has workload 0 Interrupt 14 (class storage) has workload 1 Interrupt 18 (class storage) has workload 0 Interrupt 15 (class storage) has workload 0 Interrupt 16 (class legacy) has workload 269 Interrupt 20 (class legacy) has workload 200 Interrupt 19 (class legacy) has workload 1 Interrupt 23 (class legacy) has workload 0 Interrupt 22 (class legacy) has workload 0 Interrupt 21 (class legacy) has workload 0 Interrupt 12 (class legacy) has workload 0 Interrupt 9 (class legacy) has workload 0 Interrupt 1 (class legacy) has workload 0 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- IRQ delta is 6917 Package 0: cpu mask is 00000003 (workload 5733) Cache domain 0: cpu mask is 00000003 (workload 5733) CPU number 1 (workload 1771) Interrupt 17 (ethernet/307) Interrupt 14 (storage/52) Interrupt 15 (storage/0) Interrupt 16 (legacy/1375) Interrupt 19 (legacy/29) Interrupt 22 (legacy/0) Interrupt 12 (legacy/0) Interrupt 1 (legacy/0) CPU number 0 (workload 3962) Interrupt 18 (storage/0) Interrupt 20 (legacy/1015) Interrupt 23 (legacy/0) Interrupt 21 (legacy/0) Interrupt 9 (legacy/0) I tried checking at the irqbalance website but didn't find any document stating that silently exiting is WAD. Since irqbalance is graded a daemon, it silently dying is a grave bug to me.
