It looks like it was indeed a memory balancing thing, so no reason for concern, I guess. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Certainly doesn't sound normal. Is this consistent, or did the next reboot return RAM usage to normal levels? In latter case I'd open a terminal in the firewallVM and use top -sc to see what's consuming all this memory. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] New qubes user question/issue: firewall VM consuming unexpected amount of RAM
Hello! I'm new to Qubes, but I did a fair stab at reading the docs and googling for stuff about firewall-vm My question is thus: is it normal for Firewall VM consume 1.5-1.8 GB RAM (after clean install, this is my first startup) ? is there a way to reduce RAM consumption? (I have just 4 GB ram on this box, and spending 1.5 GB on nothing but a firewall is a bit... unpleasant) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
