    Description

      I am using INNODB, and have assigned 48GB of large pages to the engine

      show variables like '%buffer%';

      But my OS is telling me that mariadb is using 70 GB

        PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
       5918 mysql     20   0 70.3g  11g 5852 S  4.0 12.6   9:00.18 mysqld

      The question is, where are the other 20 Gb being used?
      I only need to use INNODB, don´t understand exactly what aria is.
