If the problem is RAM, you can take some from your chunkservers, as they don't 
use it much (only for disk cache I would guess).

Or, once you add another chunkserver you might free the master disks and keep 
it as master only.

I don't have so many files (600.000) but my chunkservers have 2 or 4 GB and 
are only using ~200 MB and my master is using 580 MB from a total of 4 GB.

The rest of the memory is all used for disk cache and buffers, at least 
acording to "free -m".
