cmanicd and VLANs

[Richard Munn]

We have a number of systems running RedHat RHEL5.2 and loaded with PSP 8.10. We have implemented a large VLAN structure with about 120 VLANs all attached to one physical interface.

But what we have seen is cmanicd launch off and consume 100% CPU time. I can't be sure but it seems that it is treating the VLAN virtual interfaces as physical interfaces and is just running around in a loop monitoring them all.

Is this a known problem?
Is there any way to tell cmanicd not to look at the eth1.??? devices any only the eth1 physical device?

The only way to prevent this currently is to add cmanicd to the exclude line in cma.conf but this stops monitoring of every NIC.
