*sigh* trying again to correct formatting ... apologize for the earlier mess.

Having a memory issue with Gluster 3.12.4 and not sure how to troubleshoot. I don't *think* this is expected behavior.

This is on an updated CentOS 7 box. The setup is a simple two node replicated layout where the two nodes act as both server and client.

The volume in question:

Volume Name: GlusterWWW
Type: Replicate
Volume ID: 8e9b0e79-f309-4d9b-a5bb-45d065faaaa3
Status: Started
Snapshot Count: 0
Number of Bricks: 1 x 2 = 2
Transport-type: tcp
Bricks:
Brick1: vs1dlan.mydomain.com:/glusterfs_bricks/brick1/www
Brick2: vs2dlan.mydomain.com:/glusterfs_bricks/brick1/www
Options Reconfigured:
nfs.disable: on
cluster.favorite-child-policy: mtime
transport.address-family: inet

I had some other performance options in there, (increased cache-size, md invalidation, etc) but stripped them out in an attempt to isolate the issue. Still got the problem without them.

The volume currently contains over 1M files.

When mounting the volume, I get (among other things) a process as such:

/usr/sbin/glusterfs --volfile-server=localhost --volfile-id=/GlusterWWW /var/www

This process begins with little memory, but then as files are accessed in the volume the memory increases. I setup a script that simply reads the files in the volume one at a time (no writes). It's been running on and off about 12 hours now and the resident memory of the above process is already at 7.5G and continues to grow slowly. If I stop the test script the memory stops growing, but does not reduce. Restart the test script and the memory begins slowly growing again.

This is obviously a contrived app environment. With my intended application load it takes about a week or so for the memory to get high enough to invoke the oom killer.

Can you try debugging with the statedump (https://gluster.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Troubleshooting/statedump/#read-a-statedump) of the fuse mount process and see what member is leaking? Take the statedumps in succession, maybe once initially during the I/O and once the memory gets high enough to hit the OOM mark.
Share the dumps here.

Is there potentially something misconfigured here?

I did see a reference to a memory leak in another thread in this list, but that had to do with the setting of quotas, I don't have any quotas set on my system.

Thanks,
