Today I decided to run top
on my Arch Linux laptop, to be greeted with this:
In particular, this bothers me:
GiB Mem :225809113546752.0/7.791
This number doesn't change with the actual memory consumption.
Does anyone have any idea why this occurs?

The problem is known and fixed already - top: protect against the anomalous 'Mem' graph display
The bug was patched a month ago, but the Arch Linux's
procps-ng
package was built in the 10.07.2016. So, the simple system upgrade won't help in this case.You have two ways to solve this problem at least:
procps-ng
from the source.htop
or another analog for system monitoring.
