## `Maxfiles` limits <a name="maxfiles"></a>

Azure NetApp Files volumes have a limit called *`maxfiles`*. The `maxfiles` limit is the number of files a volume can contain. Linux file systems refer to the limit as *inodes*. The `maxfiles` limit for an Azure NetApp Files volume is indexed based on the size (quota) of the volume. The `maxfiles` limit for a volume increases or decreases at the rate of 20 million files per TiB of provisioned volume size.

The service dynamically adjusts the `maxfiles` limit for a volume based on its provisioned size. For example, a volume configured initially with a size of 1 TiB would have a `maxfiles` limit of 20 million. Subsequent changes to the size of the volume would result in an automatic readjustment of the `maxfiles` limit based on the following rules:

If you have allocated at least 4 TiB of quota for a volume, you can initiate a [support request](#request-limit-increase) to increase the `maxfiles` (inodes) limit beyond 100 million. For every 100 million files you increase (or a fraction thereof), you need to increase the corresponding volume quota by 4 TiB. For example, if you increase the `maxfiles` limit from 100 million files to 200 million files (or any number in between), you need to increase the volume quota from 4 TiB to 8 TiB.
