You've heard of downloading more RAM, but have you ever heard of rebooting away excess RAM?

Just lost 500GB of RAM rebooting 12 servers. Nobody touched them, I just ssh'ed in and issue a reboot command..

lol, I rebooted another host and now we've lost a TB of memory according to grafana.

I've narrowed it down to 2 hosts. One of them should have 62GB memory, but now says it has 47GB?.. And it must have been reporting +500GB before somehow?

@duc No swap at all, they really did think they had that memory for some reason and now several of the memory modules have failed to load on boot and it suddenly has a lot less memory.
