.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility is designed to change the dynamic parameters of a file system
|
|
which affect the layout policies.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility cannot be run on an active file system.
|
|
To change an active file system,
|
|
it must be downgraded to read-only or unmounted.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The parameters which are to be changed are indicated by the flags
|
|
given below:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl A
|
|
The file system has several backups of the super-block.
|
|
Specifying
|
|
this option will cause all backups to be modified as well as the
|
|
primary super-block.
|
|
This is potentially dangerous - use with caution.
|
|
.It Fl a Cm enable | disable
|
|
Turn on/off the administrative POSIX.1e ACL enable flag.
|
|
.It Fl e Ar maxbpg
|
|
Indicate 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 f Ar avgfilesize
|
|
Specify the expected average file size.
|
|
.It Fl j Cm enable | disable
|
|
Turn on/off soft updates journaling.
|
|
.It Fl J Cm enable | disable
|
|
Turn on/off gjournal flag.
|
|
.It Fl L Ar volname
|
|
Add/modify an optional file system volume label.
|
|
.It Fl l Cm enable | disable
|
|
Turn on/off MAC multilabel flag.
|
|
.It Fl m Ar minfree
|
|
Specify the percentage of space held back
|
|
from normal users; the minimum free space threshold.
|
|
The default value used is 8%.
|
|
Note that lowering the threshold can adversely affect performance:
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
Settings of 5% and less force space optimization to
|
|
always be used which will greatly increase the overhead for file
|
|
writes.
|
|
.It
|
|
The file system's ability to avoid fragmentation will be reduced
|
|
when the total free space, including the reserve, drops below 15%.
|
|
As free space approaches zero, throughput can degrade by up to a
|
|
factor of three over the performance obtained at a 10% threshold.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
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.
|
|
.It Fl N Cm enable | disable
|
|
Turn on/off the administrative NFSv4 ACL enable flag.
|
|
.It Fl n Cm enable | disable
|
|
Turn on/off soft updates.
|
|
.It Fl o Cm space | time
|
|
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.
|
|
Optimization for space has much
|
|
higher overhead for file writes.
|
|
The kernel normally changes the preference automatically as
|
|
the percent fragmentation changes on the file system.
|
|
.It Fl p
|
|
Show a summary of what the current tunable settings
|
|
are on the selected file system.
|
|
More detailed information can be
|
|
obtained from the
|
|
.Xr dumpfs 8
|
|
utility.
|
|
.It Fl s Ar avgfpdir
|
|
Specify the expected number of files per directory.
|
|
.It Fl S Ar size
|
|
Specify the softdep journal size in bytes.
|
|
The minimum is 4M.
|
|
.It Fl t Cm enable | disable
|
|
Turn on/off the TRIM enable flag.
|
|
If enabled, and if the underlying device supports the BIO_DELETE
|
|
command, the file system will send a delete request to the underlying
|
|
device for each freed block.
|
|
The trim enable flag is typically set when the underlying device
|
|
uses flash-memory as the device can use the delete command to
|
|
pre-zero or at least avoid copying blocks that have been deleted.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
At least one of the above flags is required.
|
|
.Sh FILES
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Pa /etc/fstab"
|
|
.It Pa /etc/fstab
|
|
read this to determine the device file for a
|
|
specified mount point.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility appeared in
|
|
.Bx 4.2 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
This utility does not work on active file systems.
|
|
To change the root file system, the system must be rebooted
|
|
after the file system is tuned.
|
|
.\" Take this out and a Unix Daemon will dog your steps from now until
|
|
.\" the time_t's wrap around.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
You can tune a file system, but you cannot tune a fish.
