I am running Debian Jessie 64-bit on a computer with 8 GB of RAM. This is my memory usage according to htop(with a fairly large Firefox session) before starting a guest VM that has 4 GB allocated.This, is my memory usage according to htop, with my guest VM started and after being put to do some work.Unlike Windows, which reports accurately how much RAM are VMs consuming on my system, Linux does not report such information. As a result, I often run into scenarios where I start too much VMs thinking I have the memory to fit them when that is not true, and I end up enduring like 3 solid minutes of my system having to suddenly push an entire gigabyte of RAM to swap.Where can I see the RAM that my VMs are actually using?
How can I find how much RAM are VMware Player VMs using on Linux?
