NAME

maxfiles - increase the number of files the volume can hold

SYNOPSIS

maxfiles [ vol_name [ max ] ]

DESCRIPTION

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.
