     From man 7 tuning:

         "tunefs(8) may be used to further tune a file system. This command
    can be
    run in single-user mode without having to reformat the file system. How-
    ever, this is possibly the most abused program in the system. Many peo-
    ple attempt to increase available file system space by setting the min-
    free percentage to 0. This can lead to severe file system fragmentation
    and we do not recommend that you do this."
