Anyone know why my system is using 14GiB of memory when I am only running pihole on a VM with 2GiB deicated and then 2 medium sized SSDs in a pool for SMB?

Yes - FreeNAS always uses all available memory. This is normal.

This is always an issue for me: Streaming music from FreeNAS stutters and requires a reboot when memory is maxing out my 16GB. Every couple of weeks I check when this happens and CPU is nada (< 2%), Storage is 41% full in the pool, and Memory is maxed out.

Any way to control this? I'm usually running only PlexPass plugin (though not when music is playing), or streaming music from FreeNAS and mostly it's mp3 320k songs and those are not a heavy tax.

Services seem to be the core issue and I believe SMB is a huge problem.

16G is pretty much a bare minimum these days. You can use tunables to limit the size of the ARC, but you would be much better off adding some more RAM.
