Wrong RAM size
-
Hi all, running pfSense in xcp-ng. Initially, there were 8GIG of RAM allocated to the VM, after some time I decided to reduce it to 4GIG, but the dashboard shows that I have 8GIG with increased usage which is not true. Is there any solution for this?
[2.5.1-RELEASE][root@pfSense.home.lan]/root: sysctl hw.physmem hw.physmem: 8521355264 [2.5.1-RELEASE][root@pfSense.home.lan]/root: sysctl hw | egrep 'hw.(phys|user|real)' hw.physmem: 8521355264 hw.usermem: 7836835840 hw.realmem: 8585740288

@impovich it's usually stuck at the memory. Try to reboot.

@akegec Since memory size was reduced pfsense was restarted multiple times and the server was powered off, the glitch still exists even after update from 2.5 to 2.5.1.

Found a solution, it's not enough to change memory size for the PfSense VM under the "General" tab in XCP-NG. Under "Advanced" tab there are "Memory limits (min/max)" that should be set accordingly.
