Memory allocation shown on Linux 5.6 VM guest OS does not seem to release when applic
Hi,
On our VMWare Linux guest we have 8gb of ram, we have applications running but when they are shut down the memory allocation via top still shows 5gb used.
No processes are showing memory usage so I am confused as to why the memory has not been released.
Any help greatfully received.
