64 bit block pointers, extended attribute storage, and a few other things. This commit does not yet include the code to manipulate the extended storage (for e.g. ACLs), this will be done later. Originally written by Kirk McKusick and Network Associates Laboratories for FreeBSD.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is designed to change the dynamic parameters of a file system
|
|
which affect the layout policies.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following options are supported by
|
|
.Nm :
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Fl A
|
|
Cause the values to be updated in all the alternate
|
|
superblocks instead of just the standard superblock.
|
|
If this option is not used,
|
|
then use of a backup superblock by
|
|
.Xr fsck 8
|
|
will lose anything changed by
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
.Fl A
|
|
is ignored when
|
|
.Fl N
|
|
is specified.
|
|
.It Fl F
|
|
Indicates that
|
|
.Ar special
|
|
is a file system image, rather than a device name or file system mount point.
|
|
.Ar special
|
|
will be accessed
|
|
.Sq as-is .
|
|
.It Fl N
|
|
Display all the settable options
|
|
(after any changes from the tuning options)
|
|
but do not cause any of them to be changed.
|
|
.It Fl e Ar maxbpg
|
|
This indicates the maximum number of blocks any single file can
|
|
allocate out of a cylinder group before it is forced to begin
|
|
allocating blocks from another cylinder group.
|
|
Typically this value is set to about one quarter of the total blocks
|
|
in a cylinder group.
|
|
The intent is to prevent any single file from using up all the
|
|
blocks in a single cylinder group,
|
|
thus degrading access times for all files subsequently allocated
|
|
in that cylinder group.
|
|
The effect of this limit is to cause big files to do long seeks
|
|
more frequently than if they were allowed to allocate all the blocks
|
|
in a cylinder group before seeking elsewhere.
|
|
For file systems with exclusively large files,
|
|
this parameter should be set higher.
|
|
.It Fl g Ar avgfilesize
|
|
This specifies the expected average file size.
|
|
.It Fl h Ar avgfpdir
|
|
This specifies the expected number of files per directory.
|
|
.It Fl m Ar minfree
|
|
This value specifies the percentage of space held back
|
|
from normal users; the minimum free space threshold.
|
|
The default value used is 10%.
|
|
This value can be set to zero, however up to a factor of three
|
|
in throughput will be lost over the performance obtained at a 10%
|
|
threshold.
|
|
Note that if the value is raised above the current usage level,
|
|
users will be unable to allocate files until enough files have
|
|
been deleted to get under the higher threshold.
|
|
.\"
|
|
.\" comment out -n, since softdeps are now a mount option
|
|
.ig
|
|
.It Fl n Ar soft_dependency_enabling
|
|
The soft dependency code allows most file system I/O to be done
|
|
asynchronously by reordering dependent writes to ensure that the
|
|
on-disk metadata is self-consistent even when updates are deferred.
|
|
Additionally, metadata updates are aggregated, reducing the total
|
|
number of writes performed.
|
|
Use of this facility does not require any changes to the file system,
|
|
so it can be enabled or disabled any time that the file system is unmounted.
|
|
This experimental facility is turned off by default.
|
|
It is turned on by using
|
|
.Fl n
|
|
enable;
|
|
it is turned off by using
|
|
.Fl n
|
|
disable.
|
|
..
|
|
.It Fl o Ar optimize_preference
|
|
The file system can either try to minimize the time spent
|
|
allocating blocks, or it can attempt to minimize the space
|
|
fragmentation on the disk.
|
|
If the value of minfree (see above) is less than 10%,
|
|
then the file system should optimize for space to avoid
|
|
running out of full sized blocks.
|
|
For values of minfree greater than or equal to 10%,
|
|
fragmentation is unlikely to be problematical, and
|
|
the file system can be optimized for time.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ar optimize_preference
|
|
can be specified as either
|
|
.Li space
|
|
or
|
|
.Li time .

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command appeared in
|
|
.Bx 4.2 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
This program should work on mounted and active file systems.
|
|
Because the super-block is not kept in the buffer cache,
|
|
the changes will only take effect if the program
|
|
is run on unmounted file systems.
|
|
To change the root file system, the system must be rebooted
|
|
after the file system is tuned.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
You can tune a file system, but you can't tune a fish.
