Bug 474364

Description of problem:
* 6-node-cluster
* one member has mounted 34 partitions (each 2TB but doesn't matter)

I wondered why this member's load is always >1 although he isn't doing sth special. I found out that the number of processes created per second is really high (average 600).

sar -c every second looks like this:
03:37:49 PM      0.00
03:37:50 PM      0.00
03:37:51 PM      1.00

After some research I found out that one of the cluster scripts is causing this high number of processes: /usr/share/cluster/fs.sh

Every few seconds this script is called for each partition (34 partitions). Each call (/usr/share/cluster/fs.sh status) causes the creation of 92 (sub-)processes. Thats because fs.sh is a bash-script with a lot of subshells and binary-calls (in fact 92 calls in case of status).

Here is a the grep on a strace for one call:
[root@iconode01-sr1 tmp]# strace /usr/share/cluster/fs.sh status 2>&1|grep clone|wc -l
92


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rgmanager-2.0.38-2.el5

How reproducible:
1. export all OCF_* variables
2. call "strace /usr/share/cluster/fs.sh 2&>1|grep clone"

Actual results:
Creation of a lot of processes.

Expected results:
* 1 process per partition
* not a bash-script (fs.sh) but a executable or a python script

Additional info:
* this causes load of 1 on a 8-core-Opteron-machine while there are only cman/rgmanager running and 34 partitions mounted
