A bit more info about your environment (such as OS version, applications used, etc.) would have been somewhat helpful. There is no such thing as "tuning", there is only "tuning for a specific purpose" - this is a general truth and can be applied here alike.
Supposing you have the average-up-to-date system (5.1+) with an average application mix (whatever with some I/O and some processing power needed) and some average performance objectives (faster would be nice, but its ok) - supposing all this the answer to your question is: no.

Linux uses hdparm to set these parameters, my question is: what tool uses BSD systems (FreeBSD/OpenBSD/NetBSD)? There is another thing which FreeBSD implements on their filesystems: softupdates. If I forgot to enable this option when I partitioned the disk, how could I enable it at a later time? (1 Reply)

elvtune
ELVTUNE(8) System Manager's Manual ELVTUNE(8)
NAME
elvtune - I/O elevator tuner
SYNOPSIS
elvtune [ -r r_lat ] [ -w w_lat ] [ -b b_max ] /dev/blkdev1 [ /dev/blkdev2 ... ]
elvtune -h
elvtune -v
DESCRIPTION
elvtune allows to tune the I/O elevator per blockdevice queue basis. The tuning can be safely done at runtime. Tuning the elevator means
being able to change disk performance and interactiveness. In the output of elvtune the address of the queue tuned will be shown and it can
be considered as a queue ID. For example multiple partitions in the same harddisk will share the same queue and so tuning one partition
will be like tuning the whole HD.
OPTIONS
-r r_lat
set the max latency that the I/O scheduler will provide on each read.
-w w_lat
set the max latency that the I/O scheduler will provide on each write.
-b b_max
max coalescing factor allowed on writes when there are reads pending in the queue.
-h help.
-v version.
NOTE
Actually the only fields tunable are those relative to the IO scheduler. It's not possible to select a one-way or two-way elevator yet.
For logical blockdevices like LVM the tuning has to be done on the physical devices. Tuning the queue of the LVM logical device is useless.
RETURN VALUE
0 on success and 1 on failure.
HISTORY
Ioctls for tuning elevator behaviour were added in Linux 2.3.99-pre1.
