Workstation 14.1.1 - Linux Host - Reserved Memory

Hi. I was wondering if there is a way in the configuration files of where I can alter this.. The issue is that I have 256GB of RAM on the Host and the Reservation limit is 225680 for this host.. Around 220GB.. I do not think I need 30Gb for Buffers and Caches and I would like to push it up.. Also when in windows. I have no issues pushing the reserved limit to 250. Any ideas? Thanks. Here is my host info if needed.
