Hi Dan, I had a suggestion and a question in my previous response. Let us know whether the suggestion helps and please let us know about your data-set (like how many directories/files and how these directories/files are organised) to understand the problem better. <snip> > In the > meantime can you remount glusterfs with options > --entry-timeout=0 and --attribute-timeout=0?

Is it the case > of too many directories and files present in deep directories? I > am wondering whether a significant number of inodes cached by > kernel are there to hold dentry structure in kernel. </snip> regards, Raghavendra ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Dan Ragle" <daniel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > To: "Nithya Balachandran" <nbalacha@xxxxxxxxxx> > Cc: "gluster-users" <gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx>, "Csaba Henk" <chenk@xxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Saturday, February 3, 2018 7:28:15 PM > Subject: Re: Run away memory with gluster mount > > > > On 2/2/2018 2:13 AM, Nithya Balachandran wrote: > > Hi Dan, > > > > It sounds like you might be running into [1].
