Wrong memory summary with FreeBSD 13.1

[seryov]

I recently installed FreeBSD 13.1 with proxmox and it's showing memory incorrectly, it doesn't seem to be updating in realtime, it just increases but never decreases, could you help me?

Many thanks.

Hi,
from what I could gather, the balloon driver in the FreeBSD kernel does not report all the necessary values to make it work correctly,
see here and here. You can check if that's still the case with

root@pve702 ~ # qm monitor 141
Entering Qemu Monitor for VM 141 - type 'help' for help
qm> info balloon

Jup, if nothing changed PVE will just show the RAM usage of the KVM process as a fallback if there is no usable data delivered by the guest agent.
