ct said 16 gb ram full and host said 6,7 gb ram used?

[informant]

Hi,

we have a question. our host said ram in use are 6.7 gb of 64 gb and a ct on his host has 15.8 gb of 16 gb in use. why a ct have more ram in use as a host have in use? is the ram usage of host not the sum of ram usage of all ct´s and vm´s complete?

regards

Its probably cache. See in "free -m"

Remember that the CT's and VM's does not actually have exclusive rights to the host's memory. So what they see is only a virtual pool of assigned memory otherwise you would quickly run out of available memory.
