What RAM? Free RAM, Used RAM, available RAM, RAM used for caching/buffer? RAM inside guests or on the host itself?

For example if you use ZFS as your storage its ARC will use up to 50% of your hosts RAM as cache/buffer.

You still ask no clear queststions...

I'm not that good with server stuff i just run vms for my websites and projects. Available ram is 2700 used ram is 300 something ram used for caching no clue what that is. not sure what ram that is. zfs no clue what that is. I rebooted my server after a day of it all working and now it has just ghosted my 16gb ram
