It's a VM with 1GB of ram. It runs nothing but gluster, rsync, and ssh. I saw glusterfs using 97% of the ram just before it died. All the swap was used up too. Here's the output of top about 10 min before that: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 2868 root 20 0 55664 2356 648 S 14 0.2 0:23.28 rsync 2239 root 20 0 933m 752m 1300 R 5 74.9 0:12.06 glusterfs I can turn quickread back on and test some more if it will be helpful. -- Benjamin Long
