July 29, 2025Jul 29 Can someone help me understand what the "extra" memory is used by/for when comparing the VM memory usage on the unraid dashboard, with the configured memory allocation in the (only) running VM, please?Dashboard usage:VM memory configuration:20480 MB = 19.073486 GiB, so what is the "extra" 4.9 GiB used for?I can see it reported in top as used by qemu, so I assume some kind of hypervisor overhead?It just seems a bit high in this case, so I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to reduce it? What influences the size of this "extra" memory usage?I only have one VM running for these screenshots. Edited July 29, 2025Jul 29 by Jorgen
