Hi all,

it's not a big issue or show stopper but it seems that the summary RAM usage does not show correctly anymore for FreeBSD guests after upgrading PVE to 9.0.3.

I have 2 firewalls with FreeBSD and both's memory usages grow directly after boot to a value beyond 100% o.0 eg. 102.12%. Never seen that before. Both VMs have 2GB RAM which is far more than they need and needed before. In top it shows the ~half RAM is free

Mem: 137M Active, 498M Inact, 329M Wired, 201M Buf, 997M Free.

I tend to trust top in this case because the VMs running well.

Best regards Dirk

I forgot: i have 19 further VMs with linux where everything is fine...
