Yes 16G of memory is not really used but if some process goes amuck and starts writing to one of those mount points it could be used possibly degrading system performance. There is no need to set the maximum that high and should be considered best practice not to. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot 2. 3.
