doubt reg Minfree.
Hi
When setting minfree to a certain percentage using the tunefs command, does this actually prevent users from accesing the partition when the limit is reached or not?.. It is a separate file system or not
More clarification regarding minfree will be useful for me .

Yes, that the purpose: Preventing the regular users to write new data on the filesystem. They still can access data and remove existing files to make room for new ones.

Root isn't subject to the minfree setting.

Is the regular users can able to create minfree space. Is there any restriction or we can create to any filesystem..

Please rephrase that. I don't get what the question is.

You can use tunefs to set minfree on any UFS filesystem.

If you are asking if non privileged users are allowed to set minfree with tunefs, the answer is no.

Root filesystem can be tuned.
