Tuning File Systems

Efficiency of UFS reads can be enhanced using tunefs to change the file system dynamic parameters, which affects layout policies. tunefs syntax is:

# tunefs [-amaxc] [-drotd] [-emaxb] [-mminf] [-oopt] [file_s]

tunefs works on both mounted and unmounted file systems, but changes apply only on unmounted file systems. Changes to the root file system take place only after reboot. tunefs can handle options to specify the dynamic parameters that affect the disk partition layout policies as explained in the tunefs(8) reference pages.
