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

This high memory consumption is not normal. Looks like it's a memory leak.
Is it possible to try it on test setup with gluster-6rc? What is the kind
of workload that goes into fuse mount? Large files or small files? We need
the following information to debug further:
- Gluster volume info output
- Statedump of the Gluster fuse mount process consuming 44G ram.

Regards,
Poornima
