vfs.numvnodes constantly growing

[Julien Cigar]

Hello,

I've upgraded a bunch of Proliant DL160 Gen8 machines from 10.0-RELEASE 
to 10.3-RELEASE-p15. They have 64GB of RAM, running UFS, jails, and 
have some NFS mounts:

I'm observing a constant increase (~5/sec) of vfs.numvnodes, getting 
closer to kern.maxvnodes:

jcigar at orval:~/ > sysctl -a|grep -i 'vnodes'|sort
kern.maxvnodes: 1165332
kern.minvnodes: 291333
vfs.freevnodes: 289726
vfs.numvnodes: 1008361
vfs.vnodes_created: 98017296
vfs.wantfreevnodes: 291333

any idea what could be the cause of this ?

Thanks!

Julien
