running time for a full fsck. It also reduces the random access time for large files and speeds the traversal time for directory tree walks. The key idea is to reserve a small area in each cylinder group immediately following the inode blocks for the use of metadata, specifically indirect blocks and directory contents. The new policy is to preferentially place metadata in the metadata area and everything else in the blocks that follow the metadata area. The size of this area can be set when creating a filesystem using newfs(8) or changed in an existing filesystem using tunefs(8). Both utilities use the `-k held-for-metadata-blocks' option to specify the amount of space to be held for metadata blocks in each cylinder group. By default, newfs(8) sets this area to half of minfree (typically 4% of the data area). This work was inspired by a paper presented at Usenix's FAST '13: www.usenix.org/conference/fast13/ffsck-fast-file-system-checker Details of this implementation appears in the April 2013 of ;login: www.usenix.org/publications/login/april-2013-volume-38-number-2.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility is designed to change the dynamic parameters of a UFS file system
|
|
which affect the layout policies.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility cannot be run on an active file system.
|
|
To change an active file system,
|
|
it must be downgraded to read-only or unmounted.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The parameters which are to be changed are indicated by the flags
|
|
given below:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl A
|
|
The file system has several backups of the super-block.
|
|
Specifying
|
|
this option will cause all backups to be modified as well as the
|
|
primary super-block.
|
|
This is potentially dangerous - use with caution.
|
|
.It Fl a Cm enable | disable
|
|
Turn on/off the administrative POSIX.1e ACL enable flag.
|
|
.It Fl e Ar maxbpg
|
|
Indicate the maximum number of blocks any single file can
|
|
allocate out of a cylinder group before it is forced to begin
|
|
allocating blocks from another cylinder group.
|
|
Typically this value is set to about one quarter of the total blocks
|
|
in a cylinder group.
|
|
The intent is to prevent any single file from using up all the
|
|
blocks in a single cylinder group,
|
|
thus degrading access times for all files subsequently allocated
|
|
in that cylinder group.
|
|
The effect of this limit is to cause big files to do long seeks
|
|
more frequently than if they were allowed to allocate all the blocks
|
|
in a cylinder group before seeking elsewhere.
|
|
For file systems with exclusively large files,
|
|
this parameter should be set higher.
|
|
.It Fl f Ar avgfilesize
|
|
Specify the expected average file size.
|
|
.It Fl j Cm enable | disable
|
|
Turn on/off soft updates journaling.
|
|
.It Fl J Cm enable | disable
|
|
Turn on/off gjournal flag.
|
|
.It Fl k Ar held-for-metadata-blocks
|
|
Set the amount of space to be held for metadata blocks.
|
|
When set, the file system preference routines will try to save
|
|
the specified amount of space immediately following the inode blocks
|
|
in each cylinder group for use by metadata blocks.
|
|
Clustering the metadata blocks speeds up random file access
|
|
and decreases the running time of
|
|
.Xr fsck 8 .
|
|
While this option can be set at any time,
|
|
it is most effective if set before any data is loaded into the file system.
|
|
By default
|
|
.Xr newfs 8
|
|
sets it to half of the space reserved to minfree.
|
|
.It Fl L Ar volname
|
|
Add/modify an optional file system volume label.
|
|
.It Fl l Cm enable | disable
|
|
Turn on/off MAC multilabel flag.
|
|
.It Fl m Ar minfree
|
|
Specify the percentage of space held back
|
|
from normal users; the minimum free space threshold.
|
|
The default value used is 8%.
|
|
Note that lowering the threshold can adversely affect performance:
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
Settings of 5% and less force space optimization to
|
|
always be used which will greatly increase the overhead for file
|
|
writes.
|
|
.It
|
|
The file system's ability to avoid fragmentation will be reduced
|
|
when the total free space, including the reserve, drops below 15%.
|
|
As free space approaches zero, throughput can degrade by up to a
|
|
factor of three over the performance obtained at a 10% threshold.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
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.
|
|
.It Fl N Cm enable | disable
|
|
Turn on/off the administrative NFSv4 ACL enable flag.
|
|
.It Fl n Cm enable | disable
|
|
Turn on/off soft updates.
|
|
.It Fl o Cm space | time
|
|
The file system can either try to minimize the time spent
|
|
allocating blocks, or it can attempt to minimize the space
|
|
fragmentation on the disk.
|
|
Optimization for space has much
|
|
higher overhead for file writes.
|
|
The kernel normally changes the preference automatically as
|
|
the percent fragmentation changes on the file system.
|
|
.It Fl p
|
|
Show a summary of what the current tunable settings
|
|
are on the selected file system.
|
|
More detailed information can be
|
|
obtained from the
|
|
.Xr dumpfs 8
|
|
utility.
|
|
.It Fl s Ar avgfpdir
|
|
Specify the expected number of files per directory.
|
|
.It Fl S Ar size
|
|
Specify the softdep journal size in bytes.
|
|
The minimum is 4M.
|
|
.It Fl t Cm enable | disable
|
|
Turn on/off the TRIM enable flag.
|
|
If enabled, and if the underlying device supports the BIO_DELETE
|
|
command, the file system will send a delete request to the underlying
|
|
device for each freed block.
|
|
The trim enable flag is typically set when the underlying device
|
|
uses flash-memory as the device can use the delete command to
|
|
pre-zero or at least avoid copying blocks that have been deleted.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
At least one of the above flags is required.
|
|
.Sh FILES
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Pa /etc/fstab"
|
|
.It Pa /etc/fstab
|
|
read this to determine the device file for a
|
|
specified mount point.

This utility does not work on active file systems.
|
|
To change the root file system, the system must be rebooted
|
|
after the file system is tuned.
