Hello!<br>
<br>
<div align="justify"> We are running geo-replication between
data-centers and were just alerted by the monitoring system about
swap shortage on one of the boxes. The investigation showed the
glusterfs-process responsible for geo-replication consuming 5.7Gb
of memory... There was nothing obvious in the logs. The
replication log, in particular had the routine message:<br>
</div>
<blockquote>
<pre wrap="">[2014-05-18 09:27:37.228969] I [master:669:crawl] _GMaster: completed 57 crawls, 0 turns</pre>
</blockquote>
<div align="justify"> repeated over and over once per minute. The
last non-informational message logged was dated April 20 -- a
month ago. I restarted the geo-replication and the new process is
using under 1Gb.<br>
<br>
A similar picture is on the other geo-replicating system --
although its memory usage has not triggered a monitor yet, the
glusterfs process responsible for geo-replication, which started
on February 1st, is currently consuming well over 4Gb of memory.<br>
<br>
We are using version 3.4.1 of Gluster-built RPMs on RHEL6 -- is
this, perhaps, a known problem? Should we upgrade to have it
fixed? Thank you!<br>
