[Gluster-devel] memory usage (client)

[Rhesa Rozendaal]

Thanks, Harris.

I tried it without io-threads to see what that would result in:

  7218 root      17   0  476m 464m  844 R   85 23.0  41:15.20 [glusterfs]

It did increase a lot slower this time, but still nowhere near your numbers. 
I'll see what happens when disabling one of read-ahead and write-behind, and 
then both. I'd like to know where this memory usage comes from, because I 
don't think I can deploy it like this yet.

I'm on 275, btw.
