Comment 1 Amitay Isaacs 2017-09-28 05:17:09 UTC

CTDB in some places uses CTDB_BROADCAST_ALL to distribute packets to all the configured nodes.  If there is a dead node (or a node that is not running) in the cluster, then ctdb daemons will queue up packets for such nodes.  Over long periods of time, ctdb daemon can consume lots of memory which will not be freed till the dead node is started or ctdb daemon is restarted.
