[Gluster-users] Memory leak with force merge ? gluster client takes 3gig of ram fast ?

[Antoine Tremblay]

Hi,

  I'm running GlusterFS  3.0.4 built and I have this weird behavior where
each morning it seems the gluster client has a situation which makes it take
3Gigs of RAM (close to the 32bit limit , and I run on 32bits)

VmPeak: 3063696 kB
VmSize: 3062672 kB
VmLck:       0 kB
VmHWM: 3000196 kB
VmRSS: 3000196 kB
VmData: 3059952 kB
VmStk:      88 kB
VmExe:      28 kB
VmLib:    2508 kB

If I check the logs I see :

[2010-11-30 06:39:37] D [afr-dir-read.c:163:afr_examine_dir_readdir_cbk]
mirror-0: checksums of directory / differ, triggering forced merge

This last message is repeated a lot like > 1000 times like if it was in a
loop...

Any ideas ?

Here's my config :
