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

Hi,

I will not be able to test gluster-6rc because this is a production
environment and it takes several days for memory to grow a lot.

The Samba server is hosting all types of files, small and large from small
roaming profile type files to bigger files like adobe suite, autodesk Revit
(file sizes in the hundreds of megabytes).

As I stated before, this same issue was present back with 3.8.x which I was
running before.

The information you requested:
