[Gluster-users] glusterFS memory leak?

[Larry Bates]

I've successfully set up GlusterFS 3.0 with a single server.  I brought 
on a 2nd server and setup AFR and have been working through the 
mirroring process.  I started an "ls -alR" to trigger a complete mirror 
of all files between the two servers.  After running for about 16 hours 
I started getting kernel out of memory errors.  Looking at top I see:

   PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
  2561 root      15   0 13.0g 8.9g  860 S    7 91.6  60:56.02 glusterfs

Seems that the client has used up all my memory (RAM and SWAP).  Killing 
the process returned all the memory to the OS.

BTW - I'm working on a 2.3Tb store that contains about 2.5 million files 
in 65K folders.

Thoughts?
