Hello,
Ever since I've cloned my old PBS's SSD to a new one and moved it to newer hardware, I've noticed that "used" RAM (putting aside ARC) is significantly greater than what it should be when adding up that which the processes use.
I'm not sure what could've possibly changed in the migration that would cause this. On my old server "used" RAM never went into the GBs.
Any help would be much appreciated.
