Hi Antoine, Can you take statedump of glusterfs when it is consuming huge amounts of memory? You can get the statedump of glusterfs using, # kill -SIGUSR1 <glusterfs-pid> and the statedump can be found as /tmp/glusterdump.<glusterfs-pid> regards, Raghavendra. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Antoine Tremblay" <hexa00 at gmail.com> To: gluster-users at gluster.org Sent: Tuesday, November 30, 2010 7:41:45 PM Subject: Memory leak with force merge ? gluster client takes 3gig of ram fast ? Hi, I'm running GlusterFS 3.0.4 built and I have this weird behavior where each morning it seems the gluster client has a situation which makes it take 3Gigs of RAM (close to the 32bit limit , and I run on 32bits) VmPeak: 3063696 kB VmSize: 3062672 kB VmLck: 0 kB VmHWM: 3000196 kB VmRSS: 3000196 kB VmData: 3059952 kB VmStk: 88 kB VmExe: 28 kB VmLib: 2508 kB VmPTE: 5972 kB Threads: 3 If I check the logs I see : [2010-11-30 06:39:37] D [afr-dir-read.c:163:afr_examine_dir_readdir_cbk] mirror-0: checksums of directory / differ, triggering forced merge [2010-11-30 06:39:37] D [afr-self-heal-entry.c:2298:afr_sh_entry_sync_prepare] mirror-0: no active sources for / found. merging all entries as a conservative decision [2010-11-30 06:39:37] D [stat-prefetch.c:3843:sp_release] statprefetch: cache hits: 0, cache miss: 0 [2010-11-30 06:39:37] D [stat-prefetch.c:3843:sp_release] statprefetch: cache hits: 0, cache miss: 0 [2010-11-30 06:39:37] D [stat-prefetch.c:3843:sp_release] statprefetch: cache hits: 0, cache miss: 0 This last message is repeated a lot like > 1000 times like if it was in a loop... Any ideas ?
