GLUSTERFS CLIENT LOG FILES ARE HUGE
This is an issue I recently fixed on our GlusterFS installation, but I didn’t see anything directly on Google for lazy people like myself. The issue is that the log files in /var/log/glusterfs are HUGE. Ours ended up being > 30 GB after about a day and ended up causing issues since the filesystem of our container filled up. Our log files were lots of: [2016-08-24 13:51:20.776255] I [dict.c:370:dict_get] (–>/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glusterfs/3.5.2/xlator/performance/md-cache.so(mdc_lookup+0x2ff) [0x7fd05c6e4c6f] (–>/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glusterfs/3.

One of the things I ran into when developing The Storehouse was the need for a task runner that fit into my weird style of development.
