   Since default is half of ram size, actual solution will be to mount   
   with desired values.   
      
   Where, will be distribution and start up scripts dependent.   
   You may want to get current vaules using findmnt.   
      
   Example: findmnt --target /dev

   Yep, figured that.

   And that is where I made the bad assumption. When df shows Size of a   
   drive partition, that means that space is not usable by other partitions.   
      
   With tmpfs, that is the available ram space on the mount point that   
   still can be used/allocated by other memory processes.

   grep -r tmpfs /usr/lib/dracut/*   
      
   Was more informative.   :)
