Hi,
I'm using Xen 3.2.0 on debian lenny machines, xen installed from apt-get
repositories.
All machines, nodes, postfixs and dovecots are virtuals.
nodes have 2GB of ram and 4GB of swap, dovecots and postfixs 512M of ram
and also 4GB of swap.
dom0 is running any server or client gluster daemon.
I've attached a picture from cacti, which i use to monitor all parts of
gluster. There are two points at which the node runs out of ram memory.
The first one is when i perform a postmark test, and the second one is a
bonnie test. The other readings which are close to 1GB refers to
"normal" use of my mail system, receiving mails, people checking their
mailboxes and so on.
no errors or warnings are reported in the gluster log files.
here's the xen config files from any kind of machine:

Jordi,
We will be trying to reproduce your problem at our setup. To go
further,
we have few questions for you:
1. Where are glusterfs servers running? On virtual machines or real
machines?
2. Where are glusterfs clients running? On virtual machines or real
machines?
3. Is the Xen dom-0 also using glusterfs client? If yes, what all
processes
are accessing the glusterfs mount.
4. If Xen dom-0 hosts the block device images for Xen guest OSes on
glusterfs mount, then what is the access method for guest OSes? loopback
(disk=['file:']) or blktp (disk=['tap:aio:']) or nfs rexport?
Detailed description of your Xen setup in addition to answers to above
questions will help us debug the problem.
