NAME
jfs_tune - adjust tunable file system parameters on JFS
SYNOPSIS
jfs_tune [options] device
DESCRIPTION
jfs_tune adjusts tunable parameters on a Linux JFS file system or external journal. jfs_tune must be run as root.
device is the special file name corresponding to the actual device (e.g. /dev/hdb1) on which a JFS file system or JFS external journal has been created.
OPTIONS
-J device=external-journal
Attach the JFS external journal located on external-journal to the JFS file system on device.
The external journal must already have been created using the command. More than one file system may share the same external journal.
mkfs.jfs -J journal_dev external-journal
Attach the external journal to the file system by using the command
jfs_tune -J device=external-journal device
Instead of specifying a device name directly, external-journal can also be specified by either LABEL=label or UUID=UUID (Use jfs_tune -l device to display a journal device’s volume label and UUID.)
|
-l |
List the contents of the JFS file system or external journal superblock that resides on device. |
-L volume-label
Set the volume label of the JFS file system or external journal. JFS labels can be at most 16 characters long; if volume-label is longer than 16 characters, jfs_tune will truncate it and print a warning. The volume label can be used by mount(8), fsck(8), and /etc/fstab(5) (and possibly others) by specifying LABEL=volume_label instead of a block special device name like /dev/hda5.
-U UUID
Set the universally unique identifier (UUID) of the file system or external journal device to UUID. The format of the UUID is a series of hex digits separated by hyphens, like this: "c1b9d5a2-f162-11cf-9ece-0020afc76f16". The UUID parameter may also be one of the following:
|
clear |
clear the file system UUID |
|||
|
random |
generate a new randomly-generated UUID |
|||
|
time |
generate a new time-based UUID |
The UUID may be used by mount(8), fsck(8), and /etc/fstab(5) (and possibly others) by specifying UUID=uuid instead of a block special device name like /dev/hda1.
See uuidgen(8) for more information.
|
-V |
Print version information and exit (regardless of any other chosen options). |
EXAMPLES
Set a randomly-generated UUID for the JFS file system on the 3rd partition of the 2nd hard disk, and view the resultant superblock:
jfs_tune -l -U random /dev/hdb3
Attach an already existing external journal on a device labeled JFSLog to a JFS file system on /dev/hda8:
jfs_tune -J device=LABEL=JFSLog /dev/hda8
