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
