Hey Community,

on last weekend I have upgraded my 2 node "cluster" from 8.x to 9.1.7.
Since saturday, monitoring is complaining that both server eat up there memory even with very little load (about 6-8 VMs with about 1-6GB on each hosts).

Today I was emptying one server, rebooted it and after a couple of hours memory is again full.
I have a feeling that ZFS ARC reserves too much of it.
Attached you can find 2 screenshot with the consumption over the whole day.

any idea or suggestion for solving that issue is highly appreciated

Thanks
Stefan
