Fresh 9.5 Installs, memory showing 8GB used while idle

I’m seeing this on 3 seperate VMware VM’s I’ve created.

The systems “free”, htop, etc all show 8GB of RAM usage while idle. But when i try to see what’s using the RAM, the values im seeing are extremely low.

Even VMWare’s console shows me using less than 1GB, but in the OS im seeing 8GB used.

Any ideas??

Our ansible playbook was enabling hugepages. This was causing the issue. Sorry!
