maxfiles - increase the number of files the volume can hold
maxfiles [ vol_name [ max ] ]
maxfiles increases the number of files that a volume can
hold to max. Once increased, the value of max can never be
lowered, so the new value must be larger than the current
value. If no argument is specified, maxfiles displays the
current value of max for all volumes in the system. If just
the vol_name argument is given, the current value of max for
the specified volume is displayed.
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.
