Title: System not detecing RAM change
Post by: myhrmans on October 23, 2022, 02:03:07 pm

Hi,

I changed the RAM modules in my system yesterday from 16GB -> 8GB.

The system is not updating this however and is still showing 16GB in the UI.

How can I update the hardware info for the system?

that means that FreeBSD still sees 16 GB. Can you check the BIOS?
