Comment on Help with understanding memory usage discrepancy

You should also look at which processes use the largest amount of memory. ZFS is weird and might allocate its cache memory as “used” instead of “cached”. See here to set its limits: forum.proxmox.com/…/limit-zfs-memory.140803/

Assuming the info in this link is correct, ZFS is using ~20GB for ARC which makes htop’s 8GB of in use memory make sense.

My results after running cat /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/arcstats:

c 4 19268150979 c_min 4 1026222848 c_max 4 31765389312 size 4 19251112856
