syslog.log full of BuildLogicalDeviceInfo: FIFO full, waiting...

seems to log every second:

2013-11-29T15:15:03Z sfcb-hhrc[107188]: BuildLogicalDeviceInfo: FIFO full, waiting...

2013-11-29T15:15:04Z sfcb-hhrc[107188]: BuildLogicalDeviceInfo: FIFO full, waiting...

2013-11-29T15:15:05Z sfcb-hhrc[107188]: BuildLogicalDeviceInfo: FIFO full, waiting...

my googlefu seems to be failing me as i'm unable to find any info on this particular event

i suppose it's something to do with my raid cards(2x lsi 9811-8i) as they're the only devices with 'logical volumes'

the only shred of info i've found is this:

PR910279: If you have installed third-party Host Hardware RAID Controller (HHRC) CIM provider such as LSI CIM provider, the sfcb-hhrc process fails when there is an error in the wrapped HHRC CIM provider.

This release resolves the issue by enhancing the error handling capability and robustness of the HHRCWrapperProvider.

i'm currently running whatever the latest 5.1u1 that is downloadable from the vmware website so i'd assume this is up to date? any help would be appreciated
