My 64GB RAM machine with ZFS seems to stabilise at 80% memory usage all the time for the root proxmox host. (Proxmox 6.2.4)
I have several VMs running on top of it, all of them using no more than 20GB of RAM, so I suspect all the RAM usage is by ZFS on the root host.
I've read several posts stating to edit /etc/modprobe.d/zfs.conf, but I don't see this file in there. Only pve-blacklist.conf and vfio.conf.
What is the best way to limit ZFS RAM use so it doesn't eat up everything? Is it okay to leave things running at 80% all the time? I notice that my server load is quite high at times, up to 10. It is noticeable that some apps on the VMs start behaving inconsistently and sluggishly.
Running a Ryzen 3700X if that helps.
