[Gluster-users] Gluster eating up a lot of ram

Unfortunately statedump crashes on both machines, even freshly rebooted.

[root at ysmha01 ~]# gluster --print-statedumpdir
/var/run/gluster
[root at ysmha01 ~]# gluster v statedump export
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

[root at ysmha02 ~]# uptime
 20:12:20 up 6 min,  1 user,  load average: 0.72, 0.52, 0.24
[root at ysmha02 ~]# gluster --print-statedumpdir
/var/run/gluster
[root at ysmha02 ~]# gluster v statedump export
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I rebooted today after 40 days. Gluster was eating up shy of 40GB of RAM
out of 64.

What would you recommend to be the next step?

Diego
