+Limits the number of filesystems that can exist at this point in the filesystem
+tree. The count of nested filesystems includes the filesystem on which the
+limit is set, thus the minimum value is 1. The limit is not enforced in the
+global zone. Setting a filesystem_limit on a descendent of a filesystem that
+already has a filesystem_limit does not override the ancestor's
+filesystem_limit, but rather imposes an additional limit. This feature must be
