When using the pvfs2-ls utility, the server apparently allocates memory for the request and fails to clean it up after the request.
To reproduce: * Create a 2.8.2 file system * Add some files to a directory on the file system (I was testing with 1000 files) * Run pvfs2-ls to list the files The memory usage is quite apparent in a "top" listing. By putting the command in a loop, you can see the memory usuage climb unbounded, very quickly. This doesn't appear to be an issue when using normal "ls" command line utility. Also, this issue does not appear to exist in the orangefs/2.8.3 version, but we are not able to upgrade at this time. Is this a known issue with a possible patch available? - Benjamin Severs _______________________________________________ Pvfs2-developers mailing list [email protected] http://www.beowulf-underground.org/mailman/listinfo/pvfs2-developers
