Hi,
Proxmox was showing high memory usage with only one OS running (Cockpit which has only 1GB of memory allocated). So I turned it off and with no VM running still had 18GB of memory usage. Whereas in the htop the used memory is around 3GB and 18GB in Proxmox summary (After turning off one VM which was running). So what might be the reason for this? Thanks in advance.
