[Gluster-users] Gluster 3.12.1 OOM issue with volume which stores large amount of files

[Jyri Palis]

Hi,

I have been struggling with this OOM issue and so far nothing has helped.
So we are running 10TB archive volume which stores bit more than 7M files.
The problem is that due to the way we are managing this archive, we are
forced to run daily "full scans" of file system to discover new
uncompressed files. I know, i know, this is not optimal solution but it is
as it is right now. So this scan causes glusterfsd to grow it's memory
usage till kernels OOM protection kills this process.

Each brick host has 20GB of RAM
