[Gluster-users] [Gluster-devel] glusterfsd crash due to page allocation failure

[Pranith Kumar Karampuri]

hi Glomski,
         This is the second time I am hearing about memory allocation 
problems in 3.7.6 but this time on brick side. Are you able to recreate 
this issue? Will it be possible to get statedumps of the bricks 
processes just before they crash?
