 From man 7 tuning:

     "tunefs(8) may be used to further tune a file system.  This command 
can be
run in single-user mode without having to reformat the file system.  How-
ever, this is possibly the most abused program in the system.  Many peo-
ple attempt to increase available file system space by setting the min-
free percentage to 0.  This can lead to severe file system fragmentation
and we do not recommend that you do this."
