Folks,
I have no idea if this list is active, as we have only just joined. I am
experimenting with CFS (V1.3.3) to see if it will solve some issues for
us, and have run into a snag.
If I use it on a file system that is large (say 1-2Gb), and contains a lot
of files in it, then eventually cfsd bloats out to fill swap and any other
memory it can find. The memory is taken up with stored file handles. (I
even got it to core dump eventually on a SEGV).
Does anyone have any suggestions on a solution to allow larger file
systems without blowing out the memory usage?
Danny Smith.
