NAME
ninode — the maximum number of open inodes that can be in memory
VALUES
Default
4200+48+maxusers+(2*npty)
Specify an integer value or use an integer formula expression.
DESCRIPTION
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.
Related Parameters
The default value of
ninode
is defined in terms of
maxusers
and
npty.
The value of
nproc
should be considered.
WARNINGS
All HP-UX kernel tunable parameters are release specific.
This parameter may be removed or have its meaning changed in
future releases of HP-UX.
