Hello everyone,

I have a situation here, I have two node and the share only one volume. But
after many month we have notice a High load of memory consumption of the
glusterfs process.

You can see the top output of our server:

10 GBytes is tooooo much for a process and we want to know if there is
anything we can do too solve this situation.

Our gluster version is 3.3


I hope you can help me.

Regards
