Description Jonathan S 2021-09-24 19:21:17 UTC

Description of problem:

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1952715#c8 which is still uncorrected and marked as needing info (though it appears no info is needed).
This problem still exists in Fedora 35 (Fedora-35-20210924.n.0).

The systemd unit file for irqbalance has the line:

EnvironmentFile=-/path/to/irqbalance.env

This /path/to was clearly intended to be a place-holder. It should refer to the local /etc config file, so:

EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/irqbalance

--------

Also, the irqbalance service still, in Fedora 35, gives the journal error:

libcap-ng used by "/usr/sbin/irqbalance" failed due to not having CAP_SETPCAP in capng_apply

and, as referred to in the bugzilla linked above, can be corrected by this line in the unit file:

CapabilityBoundingSet=CAP_SETPCAP




Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

irqbalance-1.7.0-8.fc35

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual results:

Local config file /etc/sysconfig/irqbalance ignored.

Error message re CAP_SETPCAP given.


Expected results:

Local config file /etc/sysconfig/irqbalance *NOT* ignored.

*NO* error message re CAP_SETPCAP.

Additional info:

#1952715 describes the second issue sufficiently.
