Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, in the man page of tunefs it says tht if we set the minfree below 5 then disk will use space optimization all the time. -m minfree Specify the percentage of space held back from normal users; the minimum free space threshold. The default value used is 8%. 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. Settings of 5% and less force space optimization to always be used which will greatly increase the overhead for file writes. 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. But when I use -p option of tunefs on a disk I get this message below. How can I change 8% to some other value or is this a mistake in the man page? tunefs: should optimize for space with minfree < 8% THANKS!
