- They are in TFM. And for good reason. The message gives you the
- direction to find in the manual. See section M and heading messages.

- In TFM no file says in essence too many open files. Reconfiguring
- the kernel is the appropriate things to do.
-
- no fs says a mounted file system has disappeared from the file table.
-
- Considering the message entries and description cover 23 manual pages
- you really wouldn't want, and don't need, more descriptive errors.
