I think this bug has been around for quite a while, but today I started digging up why I was seeing the following message sin journald from time to time: Mar 30 11:58:16 gentoo (udev-worker)[1282113]: nfs_client: Process '/usr/bin/killall -SIGHUP irqbalance' failed with exit code 1. That lead me to check the status of the irqbalance service, and it was crashed. After trying to start it I realized that the path in the unit file is pointing to: /usr/sbin/irqbalance *BUT* the binary is installed in: gentoo ~ # qlist irqbalance /lib/udev/rules.d/90-irqbalance.rules /lib/systemd/system/irqbalance.service /etc/conf.d/irqbalance /etc/init.d/irqbalance /usr/share/doc/irqbalance-1.9.4-r2/README.bz2 /usr/share/man/man1/irqbalance.1.bz2 /usr/bin/irqbalance Checking upstream it seems like the unit file in misc contains the /usr/sbin/irqbalance path, the ebuild seems to patch it the unit file but I don't think the path is overwritten at any point. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install irqbalance on a systemd enabled system. 2.Start irqbalance. 3.systemctl status irqbalance. Actual Results: The service crashes, because it is unable to find the irqbalance binary. × irqbalance.service - irqbalance daemon Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/irqbalance.service; disabled; preset: disabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sun 2025-03-30 12:38:17 CEST; 11s ago Duration: 87ms Docs: man:irqbalance(1) https://github.com/Irqbalance/irqbalance Process: 1300930 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/irqbalance (code=exited, status=203/EXEC) Main PID: 1300930 (code=exited, status=203/EXEC) Mar 30 12:38:17 gentoo systemd[1]: Started irqbalance.service.
