Hello,
The last weekend, the VM with CentOS 7
(kernel-3.10.0-327.28.2.el7.x86_64) was running with 2.5GB of used memory,
but without users connected, and heavy services running. Three minutes
after reboot, the o.s. is running with 114MB used. ¿Why the 62% of memory
is used if the o.s. does not have an intensive load?
top sorted by memory:
