NAME

maxfiles - increase the number of files the file system can hold

SYNOPSIS

maxfiles [ max ]

DESCRIPTION

maxfiles increases the number of files that the file system can hold to max. If no argument is specified, maxfiles displays the current value of max. Once increased, the value of max can never be lowered, so the new value must be larger than the current value.

Because each allowable file consumes disk space, and because the value of max can never be reduced, increasing max consumes disk space permanently. If maxfiles identifies a new size as unreasonably large, it will query the user to verify that the new value is correct.

The filer's df command (see na_df(1)) can be used to determine how many files have currently been created in the file system.
