Hello,

I have a 3 node replica including arbiter GlusterFS 7.8 server with 3 volumes 
and the two nodes (not arbiter) seem to have a high load due to the glusterfsd 
brick process taking all CPU resources (12 cores).

Checking these two servers with iostat command shows that the disks are not so 
busy and that they are mostly doing writes activity. On the FUSE clients there 
is not so much activity so I was wondering how to find out or explain why 
GlusterFS is currently generating such a high load on these two servers (the 
arbiter does not show any high load). There are no files currently healing 
either. This volume is the only volume which has the quota enabled if this 
might be a hint. So does anyone know how to see why GlusterFS is so busy on a 
specific volume?

Here is a sample "vmstat 60" of one of the nodes:

onadmin@gfs1b:~$ vmstat 60
procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- -system-- ------cpu-----
 r  b   swpd   free   buff  cache   si   so    bi    bo   in   cs us sy id wa st

I already tried rebooting but that did not help and there is nothing special in 
the log files either.

Best regards,
Mabi
