For kern.maxvnodes we have
<https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/config/#_kern_maxvnodes> (currently
12.11.3.1), however this subsection is not referenced from any troubleshooting
section of any chapter.
Absence of a package message
----------------------------
<https://www.freshports.org/sysutils/kf5-baloo/> ▶
<https://www.freshports.org/sysutils/kf5-baloo/#message>
This might be prioritised.
* Add a messsage
* mention vfs.numvnodes and kern.maxvnodes
* refer to the virtual memory subsection of the FreeBSD Handbook
* do not yet refer to tuning(7)
<https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=tuning&sektion=7&manpath=FreeBSD>,
because there's no relevant mention of kern.maxvnodes.
The manual page for tuning(7), and answers to frequently asked questions (FAQ)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug 218538 might improve the man page, by making an example of vfs.numvnodes
and kern.maxvnodes in a situation such as this.
Bug 266111 comment 2, carlavilla@ mentions his template for a new FAQ for
FreeBSD. Whilst I have not seen the template for an /en/ edition, I imagine a
(plain English) mention of system performance; plus maybe a (semi-technical)
phrase such as virtual memory vnode limit; then either the answer, or reference
to the FreeBSD Handbook.
218538 and 266111 in parallel. Realistically, the new FAQ might happen first.
