@Anthony: it's a small virtualized cluster and indeed SWAP shouldn't be used, but this doesn't change the problem. @Alexander: the problem is in the active nodes, the standby replay don't have issues anymore. Last night's backup run increased the memory usage to 86% when rsync was running for app2. It dropped to 77,8% when it was done. When the rsync for app4 was running it increased to 84% and dropping to 80%. After a few hours it's now settled on 82%. It looks to me the MDS server is caching something forever while it isn't being used.. The underlying host is running on RHEL 8. Upgrade to RHEL 9 is planned, but hit some issues with automatically upgrading hosts.
