Hi Jeremy:
The test of irqbalance disabled is running. Currently one server was crashed on NIC.
Trace.jpg in attachments is the screenshot from serial port, and trace.txt is from /varl/log/message.
Do you think it has connection with irqbalance disabled, or some other possibilities?
In addition, I find in /proc/interrupts, all interrupts are happend on cpu0(please refer to interrputs.txt
attached). Could it be a possible cause of server crash, and is there a way I can configure manually to
distribute those interrupts evenly?
Meanwhile, I wil start the new test with kernel patched soon. Thanks.
