maxfiles - increase the number of files the file system can
hold
maxfiles [ max ]
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.
