Current /usr/src/*/tunefs/tunefs.8c appears to be a bit damaged ... The syntax : -o space is not specified in the manual. On very-current: cd /usr/src/*/tunefs ; nroff -man *.8 | more one gets: -o optimize_preference The file system can either try to minimize the time spent allo- cating blocks, or it can attempt to minimize the space fragmenta- tion on the disk. Optimization for space has much higher overhead for file writes. The kernel normally changes the preference au- tomatically as the percent fragmentation changes on the file sys- tem. Notice the keywords space & time are not in bold or anything ? doesnt appear documented anywhere what optimize_preference should be ? (I just happen to remember space & time as keywords from the past). This syntax is accepted though: tunefs -m 0 /dev/rsd2s2a tunefs: minimum percentage of free space changes from 8% to 0% tunefs: should optimize for space with minfree < 8% tunefs -o space /dev/rsd2s2a tunefs: optimization preference changes from time to space Admittedly my binary is a couple of weeks old, ditto my groff macros, but my /usr/src/*/tunefs/tunefs.8c is within 12 hours of current (as of writing). Maybe someone current could take a look ? Julian --- Julian H. Stacey jhs@freebsd.org http://www.freebsd.org/~jhs/
