          For info : I've received my 4100 from .... not Netgate directly - from here, a reseller.
          That is, from a reseller in France. It had 22.02 ( ? ) which I upgraded to 22.05 30 seconds after unwrapping it using the GUI.

          It has an "128 GB NVMe M.2 SSD".
          I have to try to re install from scratch, see what the "22.05" installer proposes me.
          Maybe it was a 22.02 installer issue.

          Or a plain human error, as these things can happen also ;)
          Anyway, I real don't mind right now.

          Anyway, @scorpoin :

          fe1172fe-5120-4eb2-b8e6-8290755c10d9-image.png

          with 25 Gb of memory .....

          IMHO : when swap gets used, something must show up in the logs, with something called a 'reason'.

          If no one comes up with some explanation , get ready to re install the system and ditch the config ...

          No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
          Edit : and where are the logs ??

            Mmm, Unbound is using a HUGE amount of memory there.

                That's not required in 22.05 and you should be able to see the pcscd process using the RAM if you hit that issue. But in versions before 22.01/2.6 you should certainly check that. Or upgrade! 😉
