I am setting up a TrueNAS Core 12 installation at work. I am running a few virtual machines (Alma Linux 8 guests) on it. Most of the time, their CPU is idling and they aren't using all of their RAM.
I don't intend to overcommit CPUs and RAM; currently I have 7/12 CPU cores and 30/96 GB of RAM allocated to various VMs. All the VMs are idling most of the time (they're serving things like gitlab, wikis, the company portal, etc), and, altogether, are only using about 7 GB. Are these unused resources available to the host system for purposes such as ZFS caching, NFS server processes, etc?
