Regarding minfree in FFS:
tunefs(8) says:
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
newfs(8) says:
mize the space fragmentation on the disk. If the value of min-
free (see above) is less than 8%, the default is to optimize for
space; if the value of minfree is greater than or equal to 8%,
the default is to optimize for time. See tunefs(8) for more de-
tails on how to set this option.
So do we have to set minfree below 5% or 8% in order that space
optimization is used always?
Thanks,
-Andre
