Yes, you absolutely should. The performance hit, depending on your interrupt load, can be quite dramatic with this turned off. Remember: what you just turned off was MSI-X for the *entire system*, not just for NICs. Please read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_Signaled_Interrupts CC'ing Jack Vogel here, because your issue pertains to igb(4). Please provide output from "pciconv -lvcb" that pertain to your igb NIC(s), as well as relevant dmesg info that pertains to them (driver, etc.). You can XXX out MAC addresses if you're worried.
