Hi all,
I am looking into this issue, but could not make much from the statedumps.
I will try to reproduce this issue. If i know what kind of operations (reads, writes, metadata r/ws, etc) are being done,
and if there are any other configuration changes w.r.t GlusterFS, it'll be of great help.

Hi Philip,
I do have about the same problem that you describe. There is my setup:
Gluster: Two bricks running gluster 3.2.6
Clients:
4 clients running native gluster fuse client.
2 clients running nfs client
My nfs client are not doing that much traffic but i was able to view after a couple days that the brick used to mount the nfs is having memory issue.
i can provide more info as needed to help correct the problem.
Thank's
Xavier

2012/6/12 Dan Bretherton <[email protected]>:I wonder if this memory leak is the cause of the NFS performance degradationI reported in April.
That's probable, since the performance does go down for us too when
the glusterfs process reaches a large percentage of RAM. My initial
guess was that it's the file system cache that's being eradicated,
thus iowait increases. But a closer look at our munin graphs implies,
that it's also the user space that eats more and more CPU
proportionally with RAM:

There are two restarts of the whole gluster process family visible on
those graphs: one a week ago at the very beginning (white in the
memory graph, as munin couldn't fork all it needed), and one
yesterday. The drop between 8 and 9 was due to a problemv unrelated to
gluster.
Pranith: I just made one dump, tomorrow I'll make one more and mail
them both to you so that you can compare them. While I just restarted
yesterday, the leak should be visible, as the process grows a few
hundred MB every day.
thanks for the fast reply,
Philip
