VMs mostly. What are you hosting on Minecraft that isn’t using >=4 gigs?
Also ZFS.
oh yeah i see how that can be hungry
Just a vanilla server i play on with my son, it's got 2G and i haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary. Chunk gen is slow-ish but i suppose that's CPU-bound.
BTW i exagerated in my initial comment, i looked at the machine and it's sitting just under 8G of used RAM.
Jesus christ 😅 no idea if you're jesting
ZFS will use memory to cache. Right now my unraid server is using 16gigs, most of that is being used by ZFS to cache files. 4gigs is all ~20 containers are using.
