Did you do 'gluster volume set' or multiple add-brick operations on the volume? Also, you can do 'kill -USR1 <PID>' to get details on what would be consuming memory (check /tmp/glusterdump.<PID> after kill). Again, please share the information on which version of glusterfs you are using, that helps to see if we had any known leaks in that particular version.
