netapp> maxfiles vol0 26000

The new maximum number of files specified is more than twice as big as
it needs to be, based on current usage patterns.  This invocation of the
operation on the specified volume will allow disk space consumption for
files to grow up to the new limit depending on your workload. The maxfiles
setting cannot be lowered below the point of any such additional disk space
consumption and any additional disk space consumed can never be reclaimed.
Also, such consumption of additional disk space could result in less
available memory after an upgrade.


The new maximum number of files will be rounded to 25995.

Are you sure you want to change the maximum number of files?
