Use the 'top' command to monitor memory usage
Issue
The glusterfs process on a client can grow very large. This could be an indication of a memory leak or it could result from blocked IO. The memory usage can be reset by unmounting and remounting the Gluster volume on the client. A convenient way to monitor memory usage is with the top command.
Environment
A RHEL host mounting a Gluster volume with the native glusterfs fuse client.
[root@client01 ~]# mount | grep glusterfs
gluster01:/vol01 on /mnt/vol01 type fuse.glusterfs (rw,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,max_read=131072)
