<div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif">Hi,</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif">I’m running Gluster 3.4.2 on Redhat 6.5 with 4 servers with a brick on each. This brick is mounted locally and used by apache to server audio files for an IVR system. Each of these audio files are typically around 80-100Kb.</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif">System appears to be working ok in terms of health and status via gluster CLI. </font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif">The system is monitored by nagios and there’s a check for zombie processes and the gluster status. It appears that over a 24 hour period the number of Zombie processes on the box has increased and is continually increasing.
Investigating these are “glusterd” processes.</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif">I’m making an assumption but I’d suspect that the regular nagios checks are resulting in the increase in zombie processes as they are querying the glusterd process. The command that the nagios plugin is running is:</font></div>

<div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif">gluster volume heal audio info</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif">#Check volume status</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif">gluster volume status audio detail</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif">Does anyone have any suggestions as to why glusterd is resulting in these zombie processes?</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif">Thanks for help in advance,</font></div>
