     tunefs(1m)                 DG/UX 4.30                  tunefs(1m)



     NAME
          tunefs - tune an existing DG/UX file system

     SYNOPSIS
          /etc/tunefs options filesys | special

     DESCRIPTION
          Tunefs changes the dynamic parameters of a file system that
          affect the layout policies.  Defaults are set according to
          the values established by mkfs(1m).  Filesys is the pathname
          of the directory with which the file system is associated in
          the file /etc/fstab.  Special is the pathname of a special
          file referring to a device containing a file system.  The
          file system must be unmounted.

          Options are:


          -e max_blks_first_dar   Specifies that when allocating disk
                                  space for a file, max_blks_first_dar
                                  disk blocks should be allocated from
                                  the disk allocation region (DAR)
                                  chosen for the initial file space
                                  allocation, before moving on to
                                  another DAR.  The valid range for
                                  max_blks_first_dar is from 1 to the
                                  number of available disk blocks in
                                  the DAR.

          -E max_blks_per_dar     Specifies that when allocating disk
                                  space for a file, after the initial
                                  disk allocation region (DAR) has
                                  been exhausted (see the -e option),
                                  then max.blocks_per_dar disk blocks
                                  should be allocated from each
                                  subsequent DAR.  The valid range for
                                  max.blks_per_dar is from
                                  max_blocks_first_dar (see the -e
                                  option) to the number of available
                                  disk blocks in the DAR.

          -m min_free             Specifies the minimum percentage of
                                  the file system that should be
                                  maintained as free space.  Only
                                  superuser processes may allocate
                                  these blocks.  If min_free is
                                  greater than the percentage of space
                                  currently free, then non-superuser
                                  processes will not be able to
                                  allocate any blocks on the file
                                  system until the percentage free
                                  reaches min_free.  The valid range

                                  for min_free is from 1 to 100
                                  percent, however the disk I/O
                                  performance may degrade as the
                                  amount of free space approaches 0
                                  percent.

          -s max_data             Specifies the block size for a
                                  file's data blocks on the file
                                  system, given as log base 2 of the
                                  block size.  The disk space for a
                                  file's data is allocated 2^max_data
                                  blocks at a time. The valid range
                                  for max_data is from 1 to the log of
                                  the number of user blocks per disk
                                  allocation region in the file
                                  system.

          -S max_dir              Specifies the block size for
                                  directories on the file system,
                                  given as log base 2 of the block
                                  size.  The disk space for the file
                                  system's directory blocks is
                                  allocated 2^max_dir blocks at at
                                  time.  The valid range for max_dir
                                  is from 1 to the log of the number
                                  of user blocks per disk allocation
                                  region in the file system.

          -x max_idx_data         Specifies the block size for a
                                  file's index blocks (the space used
                                  for addressing a file's data blocks)
                                  in the file system, given as log
                                  base 2 of the block size.  The disk
                                  space for a file's index blocks is
                                  allocated 2^max_idx_data blocks at a
                                  time. The valid range for
                                  max_idx_data is from 1 to the log of
                                  the number of blocks available for
                                  use as index blocks per disk
                                  allocation region (DAR), which is
                                  usually less than the number of user
                                  blocks per DAR.

          -X max_idx_dir          Specifies the block size for the
                                  file system's index blocks (the
                                  space used for addressing a
                                  directory's blocks) in the file
                                  system, given as log base 2 of the
                                  block size.  The disk space for a
                                  directory's index blocks is
                                  allocated 2^max_idx_dir blocks at at
                                  time.  The valid range for

                                  max_idx_dir is from 1 to the log of
                                  the number of blocks available for
                                  use as index blocks per disk
                                  allocation region (DAR), which is
                                  usually less than the number of user
                                  blocks per DAR.

          Specifying an invalid option value causes the program to
          print the valid range of values for that option and then
          exit.

     BUGS
          Tunefs cannot be run on the root file system because that
          system cannot be unmounted.
