Memory utilization?

[johan56]

I think I have 16gb of RAM in my FreeNAS server. But is all that memory used?

Have a look at my attached image, and please explain what is going on. Its a screenshot on a IDLE server that has a uptime of approx 12h.

Yes, you do (give or take).

"What is going on" with what? It looks perfectly normal. What's the concern?

Here's a system with 128 GB and an uptime of about two weeks:

The way FreeNAS works is it will always use as much RAM as it can get a hold of. As previously stated, normal behavior.

The problem is the 16GB of wasted memory... sorry... "Inactive".

...just like any other modern OS.

It's doing a lot better so far than 9.10 was.
