[Gluster-devel] large glusterfs memory usage on mainline-2.5 patch 237?

[Dale Dude]

After rsync is finished finding what files to update the glusterfs 
process shoots to 500megz (has grown to 620megz since i started this email).

RSYNC CMD:
# rsync -av --progress nfs:/volumes /volumes
receiving file list ...
1612811 files to consider
Library/Keychains/
...I CHECKED PS HERE...

# ps aux|fgrep gluster
root     26844  3.4  0.1  21756  3300 ?        Rsl  11:06   1:20

Before rsync starts doing any updates the memory is low. Notice rsync 
hasnt started updating yet:
# rsync -av --progress nfs:/volumes /volumes
receiving file list ...
1612802 files to consider

# ps aux|fgrep gluster
root     26844  0.3  0.1  21628  3156 ?        Ssl  11:06   0:06
