NAME

       tune2fs  -  adjust tunable filesystem parameters on second
       extended filesystems


SYNOPSIS

       tune2fs [ -l ] [ -c max-mount-counts ] [ -e  errors-behav-
       ior ] [ -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.
