Summary
Description
On Linux-based OS's,
/proc/meminfo
does not report memory consumption by the ZFS ARC disks. It's my understanding that this memory is reclaimable.These changes include what "htop" deems "shrinkable" memory into the
used
,cached
andavailable
memory totals, which solved an issue on one of my systems which was over-reporting memory consumption.Here are a few resources:

Please let me know if this is relevant or not and I can add a test and make changes to the
readTheDocs
Documentation too. Just not necessary at the moment for me if this will only ever be used on my fork
