Lost memory when using dbutils

Why does copying a 9GB file from a container to the /dbfs lose me 50GB of memory? (Which doesn't come back until I restarted the cluster)

Hi James,

Did you get to the bottom of this? We are experiencing the same issue, and all the suggested solutions don't seem to work.

Thanks,

Adrian
