Hi, I have an instance with 8G ram assigned. All block devices have cache disabled (cache=none) on host. However, cgroup is reporting 4G of cache associated to the instance (on host) # cgget -r memory.stat libvirt/qemu/i-000009fa libvirt/qemu/i-000009fa: memory.stat: cache 4318011392 rss 8676360192 ...
