<div dir="auto">When upgrading ovirt to use gluster 3.12 I am experiencing memory leaks and every week have to put hosts in maintenance and activate again to refresh memory. Still have this issue and hoping for a bug fix on next releases.

The mounts are stock fuse.glusterfs. The RAM usage had been climbing and I had to move VMs around, put hosts in maintenance mode, do updates, restart. When the VMs were moved back the memory usage dropped back to normal. The new gluster is 3.12.11 and still using fuse in a replica 3 config. I'm blaming the fuse mount process for the leak (with no data to back it up yet).</div><div><br></div><div>A different gluster install also using fuse mounts does not show the memory consumption. It does not use virtualization at all so it really is likely an issue with the kvm/qemu. On those system, the fuse mounts get dropped by oomkiller when computation use of memory overload things. Different issue totally. </div><div><br></div><div>On Wed, 2018-08-01 at 19:57 +0100, <a href="mailto:lemonnierk@ulrar.net" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">lemonnierk@ulrar.net</a> wrote:</div><blockquote type="cite" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:2px #729fcf solid;padding-left:1ex"><pre>Hey,</pre><pre><br></pre><pre>Is there by any chance a known bug about a memory leak for the libgfapi</pre><pre>in the latests 3.12 releases ?</pre><pre>I've migrated a lot of virtual machines from an old proxmox cluster to a</pre><pre>new one, with a newer gluster (3.12.10) and ever since the virtual</pre><pre>machines have been eating more and more RAM all the time, without ever</pre><pre>stopping.
