TUNE2FS(8)

NAME
tune2fs - adjust tunable filesystem parameters on second extended filesystems

SYNOPSIS
tune2fs [ -l ] [ -c max-mount-counts ] [ -e errors-behavior ] [ -i interval-between-checks ] [ -m reserved-blocks-percentage ] [ -r reserved-blocks-count ] [ -u user ] [ -g group ] device

DESCRIPTION
tune2fs adjusts tunable filesystem parameters on a Linux second extended filesystem.

Never use tune2fs on a read/write mounted filesystem to change parameters!

OPTIONS

-c max-mount-counts
    adjust the maximal mounts count between two filesystem checks.

-e errors-behavior
    change the behavior of the kernel code when errors are detected. errors-behavior can be one of the followings:
        continue    Continue normal execution.
        remount-ro    Remount the filesystem read-only.
        panic    Causes a kernel panic.

-g group
    set the user group which can benefit from the reserved blocks.
    group can be a numerical gid or a group name.

-i interval-between-checks[d|m|w]
    adjust the maximal time between two filesystem checks. No postfix or `d' result in days, `m' in months, and `w' in weeks. A value of zero will disable the timedependent checking.

-l  list the contents of the filesystem superblock.

-m reserved-blocks-percentage
    adjust the reserved blocks percentage on the given device.

-r reserved-blocks-count
    adjust the reserved blocks count on the given device.

-u user
    set the user who can benefit from the reserved blocks. user can be a numerical uid or a user name.

BUGS
We didn't find any bugs yet. Perhaps there are bugs but it's unlikely.

WARNING
Use this utility on your own risk. You're modifying filesystems.
