[Gluster-users] gluster connection interrupted during transfer

Hi,

since I feared that the logs would fill up the partition (again) I
checked the systems daily and finally found the reason. The glusterfs
process on the client runs out of memory and get's killed by OOM after
about four days. Since rsync runs for a couple of days longer till it
ends I never checked the whole time frame in the system logs and never
stumbled upon the OOM message.

Running out of memory on a 128GB RAM system even with a DB occupying
~40% of that is kind of strange though. Might there be a leak?

But this would explain the erratic behavior I've experienced over the
last 1.5 years while trying to work with our homes on glusterfs.

Here is the kernel log message for the killed glusterfs process.
https://gist.github.com/bleuchien/3d2b87985ecb944c60347d5e8660e36a

I'm checking the brick and client trace logs. But those are respectively
1TB and 2TB in size so searching in them takes a while. I'll be creating
gists for both logs about the time when the process died.

As soon as I have more details I'll post them.

Here you can see a graphical representation of the memory usage of this
system: https://imgur.com/a/4BINtfr

Cheers
Richard
