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."
