Unraid 6.12-rc7 has unusually high memory usage. ( Suspected ZFS ARC cache issue)

  • Solved
  • Minor

 

Firstly, while Docker is enabled, I observed that the system memory usage reported by free -mh shows that 19GB of memory has been used. However, when calculating the memory usage using docker stats and ps -ef commands, the total memory usage doesn't exceed 5GB. So, where did this additional memory go?

Afterwards, I disabled the Docker service through the Unraid dashboard, and the memory usage decreased to 16GB. Why does Unraid require such a large amount of memory? So, which component is causing the issue?
