NAME

6       jfs_tune - adjust tunable file system parameters on JFS
7

SYNOPSIS

10       jfs_tune [options] device
11
12

DESCRIPTION

14       jfs_tune  adjusts  tunable  parameters  on  a  Linux JFS file system or
15       external journal.  jfs_tune must be run as root.
16
17
18       device is the special file name  corresponding  to  the  actual  device
19       (e.g. /dev/hdb1) on which a JFS file system or JFS external journal has
20       been created.
21
22

OPTIONS

24       -J device=external-journal
25              Attach the JFS external journal located on  external-journal  to
26              the JFS file system on device.
27
28              The  external  journal  must already have been created using the
29              command.  More than one file system may share the same  external
30              journal.
31
32              mkfs.jfs -J journal_dev external-journal
33
34              Attach the external journal to the file system by using the com‐
35              mand
36
37              jfs_tune -J device=external-journal device
38
39              Instead of specifying a device name  directly,  external-journal
40              can  also  be  specified by either LABEL=label or UUID=UUID (Use
41              jfs_tune -l device to display a journal  device's  volume  label
42              and UUID.)
43
44
45       -l     List  the  contents  of  the JFS file system or external journal
46              superblock that resides on device.
47
48
49       -L volume-label
50              Set the volume label of the JFS file system or external journal.
51              JFS labels can be at most 16 characters long; if volume-label is
52              longer than 16 characters, jfs_tune will truncate it and print a
53              warning.  The volume label can be used by mount(8), fsck(8), and
54              /etc/fstab(5) (and possibly  others)  by  specifying  LABEL=vol‐
55              ume_label instead of a block special device name like /dev/hda5.
56
57
58       -U UUID
59              Set  the universally unique identifier (UUID) of the file system
60              or external journal device to UUID.  The format of the UUID is a
61              series   of   hex   digits  separated  by  hyphens,  like  this:
62              "c1b9d5a2-f162-11cf-9ece-0020afc76f16".  The UUID parameter  may
63              also be one of the following:
64
65                   clear  clear the file system UUID
66
67                   random generate a new randomly-generated UUID
68
69                   time   generate a new time-based UUID
70
71              The  UUID  may  be  used by mount(8), fsck(8), and /etc/fstab(5)
72              (and possibly others) by specifying UUID=uuid instead of a block
73              special device name like /dev/hda1.
74
75              See uuidgen(8) for more information.
76
77
78       -V     Print version information and exit (regardless of any other cho‐
79              sen options).
80
81

EXAMPLES

83       Set a randomly-generated UUID for the JFS file system on the 3rd parti‐
84       tion of the 2nd hard disk, and view the resultant superblock:
85
86              jfs_tune -l -U random /dev/hdb3
87
88       Attach  an already existing external journal on a device labeled JFSLog
89       to a JFS file system on /dev/hda8:
90
91              jfs_tune -J device=LABEL=JFSLog /dev/hda8
