No postfix or .B d result in days, .B m in months, and .B w in weeks. A value of zero will disable the timedependent checking. .TP .B \-l list the contents of the filesystem superblock. .TP .BI \-m " reserved-blocks-percentage" adjust the reserved blocks percentage on the given device. .TP .BI \-r " reserved-blocks-count" adjust the reserved blocks count on the given device. .TP .BI \-s " sparse_super_flag" set or reset the sparse_superblock flag. The sparse_superblock feature saves space on really big filesystems. .B Warning: The Linux 2.0 kernel does not properly support this feature. Neither do all Linux 2.1 kernels; please don't use this unless you know what you're doing! .TP .BI \-u " user" set the user who can benefit from the reserved blocks. .I user can be a numerical uid or a user name. .TP .BI \-C " mount-count" set the number of times the filesystem has been mounted. .TP .BI \-L " volume-label" set the volume label of the filesystem. Ext2 filesystem labels can be at most 16 characters long; if .I volume-label is longer than 16 characters, .B tune2fs will truncate it and print a warning message. .TP .BI \-M " last-mounted-directory" set the last-mounted directory for the filesystem. .TP .BI \-O " \fR[^]\fIfeature\fR[,...]" set or clear the indicated filesystem features (options) in the filesystem. .I Feature can be one of the following supported filesystem options: .IR sparse_super , which will cause the filesystem to use sparse superblocks, and .IR filetype , which will cause the filesystem to store file type information in directory entries. After setting or clearing either filesystem feature, e2fsck must be run on the filesystem. .TP .BI \-U " UUID" set the UUID of the filesystem. A sample UUID looks like this: "c1b9d5a2-f162-11cf-9ece-0020afc76f16". The uuid may also be .IR null , which will set the filesystem UUID to the null UUID. The uuid may also be .IR random , which will generate a new random UUID for the filesystem. .SH BUGS We haven't found any bugs yet. Perhaps there are bugs but it's unlikely. .SH WARNING Never use tune2fs to change parameters of a read/write mounted filesystem! .B Use this utility .B at your own risk. You're modifying a filesystem! .SH AUTHOR .B tune2fs was written by Remy Card . .B tune2fs uses the ext2fs library written by Theodore Ts'o . This manual page was written by Christian Kuhtz . Timedependent checking was added by Uwe Ohse . .SH AVAILABILITY .B tune2fs is part of the e2fsprogs package and is available for anonymous ftp from tsx-11.mit.edu in /pub/linux/packages/ext2fs. .SH SEE ALSO .BR dumpe2fs (8), .BR e2fsck (8), .BR mke2fs (8)
