/MAXIMUM_FILES=n Restricts the maximum number of files that the volume can contain. The /MAXIMUM_FILES qualifier overrides the default value, which is calculated as follows: (volume size in blocks)/((cluster factor + 1) * 2) NOTE If /LIMIT is specified and no value is set for /MAXIMUM_ FILES, the default is 16711679 files. The maximum size you can specify for any volume is as follows: (volume size in blocks)/(cluster factor + 1) The minimum value is 0. Note that the maximum can be increased only by reinitializing the volume. NOTE The /MAXIMUM_FILES qualifier does not reserve or create space for new file headers on a volume. The file system dynamically allocates space as it is needed for new headers.
