Hi Benjamin, Without running valgrind against the code I'm going to guess. If none of these resolve the issue, let me know. There are a couple memory related fixes that may affect server side memory use that have been put in OrangeFS, I don't know if they made it to 2.8.2 or the code base you're working from.
