Why the check to make sure that one doesn't shrink the number
of vnodes? Difficult to implement the shrinking?
Sean. (full of questions today, aren't i?)
case KERN_MAXVNODES:
old_vnodes = desiredvnodes;
error = sysctl_int(oldp, oldlenp, newp, newlen, &desiredvnodes);
if (old_vnodes > desiredvnodes) {
desiredvnodes = old_vnodes;
return (EINVAL);
}
return (error);
