hello,
I've a simple AFR configure, two server, two client.
if I do copy of 10G file, glusterfs client process grows and grows , > 5Go
however I just define
volume io-cache
type performance/io-cache
option cache-size 2048MB # default is 32MB
option page-size 128KB #128KB is default option
option cache-timeout 2 # default is 1
subvolumes iothreads
end-volume
so it is glibc problem or a memory leak ?
memory does not scale down.
