Don't you mean glusterfs (the fuse client?). At least I have the same issues
with glusterfs on fedora20, it looks like the client gains some fat as files
and/or directories are added. Any info on how to debug memory issues on the
client side (valgrind goes belly-up with tests of reasonable size). For instance
is there any way to turn off internal memory pools (if there are any), in order 
to closely follow memory allocations with a suitable LD_PRELOAD malloc/free/...
wrapper?
