be in memory.

Specify integer value or use integer formula expression. For more information, see Specifying Parameter Values.
ninode defines the number of slots in the inode table, and
thus the maximum number of open inodes that can be in memory at any
given time. The inode table is used as a cache memory. For efficiency
reasons, the most recent Ninode (number of) open inodes is
kept in main memory. The table is hashed.
Each unique open file has an open inode associated with it. Therefore,
the larger the number of unique open files, the larger
ninode should be.
The default value of ninode is defined in terms of nproc, maxusers, and npty.
