Description Sahina Bose 2016-07-26 11:46:13 UTC

Description of problem:
Feedback from ndevos and RHV team:
With fuse mounts, the client translators are loaded once in memory and takes around 32-64MB of RAM. However, with gfapi access of qemu images, memory overhead is increased with every VM run. We need a way to reduce this memory allocation
