[/code]Hi all
for some reason I am using almost all my RAM: https://ibb.co/WtdH7Lp, but there is no process using so much.
For example, the 10 most using are the following:
| Code: | ~ ps aux --sort=-%mem | head
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND

This issue started several minutes ago when I was testing a Monero miner (xmrig installed with Portage) with a local node of Monero I was testing for few days. Of course the miner, Monero daemon, and any related program are not running and I have reboot the machine in case there was some in-memory cache, but still I am using all that RAM.
What could cause it?

This picture shows nothing. What does free -h say?

Found the issue ... and my brain memory is shit. 
One page of the many I have read about xmrig suggested to add "hugepagesz=1GB hugepages=6 hugepagesz=2MB hugepages=244" to Grub; it seems it was the fault as I removed it and now my RAM is behaving normally.
