After updating to centos 4.3, I notice a failure in terminating irqbalance whenever i shutdown the system. Checking the services after the system reboot i see the error in irqbalance: "irqbalance dead but subsys locked" Can anyone tell me what irqbalance is

man irqbalance

returns "distribute hardware interrupts across processors on a multiprocessor system"

I haven't read the rest of the man page, so I can't/won't try to answer part 2.

and if it safe to disable it ? Why i dont see it in centos 4.2? Thanks in advance. Thai
