Gluster users - Feb 2017 - unlimited memory usage

Hi,

I'm running Gluster 3.8.8 on Ubuntu 16.04 on 2 HP Apollo 4510 with 60 x 8TB
each
The machines are used as Backup Media Agents for CommVault Simpana V11
I was running this combination since Gluster 3.7. Lately I noticed that
Gluster is using almost all available memory, starving the other
applications. I tried to put some memory limitions on gluster using cgroups
but that didn't work out.
Any other idea to make Gluster less greedy on memory?

Best Regards
Bernhard

Hi,

one more question: when I can convince my boss to buy another machine to
separate the load of Gluster and
Backup onto different machines, will this solve my problem or will the
Gluster client also eat up all memory it can get?

Best Regards
Bernhard
