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
              Only supported on JFS versions (1.0.18 or  later)  that  support
              external  journal.   Attach  the JFS external journal located on
              external-journal to the JFS file system on device.

              Currently, you may only attach a single JFS file  system  device
              to  a  single  JFS  external  journal (i.e. each JFS file system
              using an external journal must have a unique external journal).

              The external journal must already have been  created  using  the
              command

              mkfs.jfs -J journal_dev external-journal

              Attach the external journal to the file system by using the com-
              mand

              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=vol-
              ume_label instead of a block special device name like /dev/hda5.

                   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 cho-
              sen options).


EXAMPLES
       Set a randomly-generated UUID for the JFS file system on the 3rd parti-
       tion 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
