That is, problem is that GF_CALLOC done for an nfs type while THIS is a posix instance.

Shehjar, please take a look at it.

IIRC it has been fixed since then, but I cannot recall the bug id.

If that's the case I'd think best option is to mark it as duplicate of that one.

Yeah, consider it resolved. This was from the days when NFS did not behave properly with mem-accounting.
