Hello, major proxmox and linux newb here. I have a problem, which might not be a problem in reality, but I need someone to confirm it. Basically whenever I did large transfers to my linux containers/vm's proxmox showed that ram usuage went up massively (usually hitting 95-100% in the end) and after completing ram usage didn't go back down. However if I deleted the transfered file it went down back down to minimal usage. I figured this was some major issue, but then I read this: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/. Coming from windows enviroment I had no idea that linux could behave in this way at all. Can anyone tell me this is exactly whats happening? Here's my ram usage from within the container:http://www.linuxatemyram.com/

If anyone can confirm this is the case it will save me a lot of greif. I've stopped working on my setup until I could figure out if this was a huge problem. Thanks.
