> I don't know if Docker does anything strange here. I am not sure if this is docker specific or cgroup comes into play. The measurement is implemented in docker CLI, but I would make the assumption that the eviction is done within the cgroup scope.

Couldn't also the eviction happen incrementally rather than 15GB of file cache evicted on an instant? > So I'd double check the logs if there are any errors. Not any error in the logs, unfortunately (or fortunately). Seems like this issue <https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/issues/16230>, or the parent one <https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/10824> that everyone is linking to this.
