915 | Again, super block structures are allocated by the kernel, but not freed. The | ||
916 | file super-max contains the maximum number of super block handlers, where | ||
917 | super-nr shows the number of currently allocated ones. | ||
918 | |||
919 | Every mounted file system needs a super block, so if you plan to mount lots of | ||
920 | file systems, you may want to increase these numbers. | ||
