Do I understand this right that having client caps exceeding the limit is merely an annoyance and shouldn't explode mds memory usage? (I say annoyance because I find it difficult to run an MDS without the HEALTH_WARN that clients aren't responding to cache pressure). IOW, do you expect that the size of the mds inode LRU will stay under the mds_cache_size even if a client doesn't respond release caps ?? check_memory_usage prints num_inodes_with_caps and inode_map.size() Is there a way to see the current LRU size on a running MDS?
