\b0 makes a local directory (or file) available for mounting over the network by NFS clients. It is normally invoked at boot time by the /etc/rc.local script, and uses information contained in the /etc/exports file to export a directory (which must be specified as a full pathname). The super-user can run exportfs at any time to alter the list or characteristics of exported directories. Directories that are currently exported are listed in the file /etc/xtab. With no options or arguments, exportfs prints out the list of directories currently exported.

\b fsck
\b0 preens a standard set of filesystems or the specified file systems. It is normally used in the script /etc/rc during automatic reboot. In this case fsck reads the table /etc/fstab to determine which file systems to check. It uses the information there to inspect groups of disks in parallel taking maximum advantage of i/o overlap to check the file systems as quickly as possible. Normally, the root file system will be checked on pass 1, other ``root'' (``a'' partition) file systems on pass 2, other small file systems on separate passes (e.g. the ``d'' file systems on pass 3 and the ``e'' file systems on pass 4), and finally the large user file systems on the last pass, e.g. pass 5. Only partitions in fstab that are mounted ``rw'' or ``rq'' and that have non-zero pass number are checked.\
The system takes care that only a restricted class of innocuous inconsistencies can happen unless hardware or software failures intervene. \
These are limited to the following:\
Unreferenced inodes\
Link counts in inodes too large\
Missing blocks in the free list\
Blocks in the free list also in files\
Counts in the super-block wrong\
These are the only inconsistencies that fsck with the -p option will correct; if it encounters other inconsistencies, it exits with an abnormal return status and an automatic reboot will then fail. For each corrected inconsistency one or more lines will be printed identifying the file system on which the correction will take place, and the nature of the correction. After successfully correcting a file system, fsck will print the number of files on that file system, the number of used and free blocks, and the percentage of fragmentation.\
If sent a QUIT signal, fsck will finish the file system checks, then exit with an abnormal return status that causes the automatic reboot to fail. This is useful when you wish to finish the file system checks, but do not want the machine to come up multiuser.\
Fsck has more consistency checks than its predecessors check, dcheck, fcheck, and icheck combined.\
If no filesystems are given to fsck then a default list of file systems is read from the file /etc/fstab.\
Inconsistencies checked are as follows:\
1. Blocks claimed by more than one inode or the free list.\
2. Blocks claimed by an inode or the free list outside the range of the file system.\
3. Incorrect link counts.\
4. Size checks: Directory size not of proper format.\
5. Bad inode format.\
6. Blocks not accounted for anywhere.\
7. Directory checks: File pointing to unallocated inode. Inode number out of range.\
8. Super Block checks:\
More blocks for inodes than there are in the file system.\
9. Bad free block list format.\
10. Total free block and/or free inode count incorrect.\
Orphaned files and directories (allocated but unreferenced) are, with the operator's concurrence, reconnected by placing them in the lost+found directory. The name assigned is the inode number. If the lost+found directory does not exist, it is created. If there is insufficient space its size is increased.\
Checking the raw device is almost always faster.

\b fsck
\b0 audits and interactively repairs inconsistent conditions for file systems. If the file system is inconsistent the operator is prompted for concurrence before each correction is attempted. It should be noted that some of the corrective actions which are not correctable under the -p option will result in some loss of data. The amount and severity of data lost may be determined from the diagnostic output. The default action for each consistency correction is to wait for the operator to respond yes or no. If the operator does not have write permission on the file system fsck will default to a -n action.\
Fsck has more consistency checks than its predecessors check, dcheck, fcheck, and icheck combined.\
If no filesystems are given to fsck then a default list of file systems is read from the file /etc/fstab.\

\b0 is a ``friendly'' front-end to the mkfs(8) program. Newfs will look up the type of disk a file system is being created on by using the information contained in the disk label of the character-device. If the disk-type argument is specified the information in the disk description file /etc/disktab is used. This disk information is used to calculate the appropriate parameters to use in calling mkfs, then build the file system by forking mkfs and, if the file system is a root partition, install the necessary bootstrap programs in the initial 8 sectors of the device. The -n option prevents the bootstrap programs from being installed. The -N option causes the file system parameters to be printed out without actually creating the file system.

\b0 executes the sync system primitive. Sync can be called to insure that all disk writes have been completed before the processor is halted in a way not suitably done by reboot(8) or halt(8). Generally, it is preferable to use reboot or halt to shut down the system, as they may perform additional actions such as resynchronizing the hardware clock and flushing internal caches before performing a final sync.

The default value is one, since most device drivers require an interrupt per disk transfer. Device drivers that can chain several buffers together in a single transfer should set this to the maximum chain length

Typically this value is set to about one quarter of the total blocks in a cylinder group. The intent is to prevent any single file from using up all the blocks in a single cylinder group, thus degrading access times for all files subsequently allocated in that cylinder group. The effect of this limit is to cause big files to do long seeks more frequently than if they were allowed to allocate all the blocks in a cylinder group before seeking elsewhere. For file systems with exclusively large files, this parameter should be set higher

The default value used is 10%. This value can be set to zero, however up to a factor of three in throughput will be lost over the performance obtained at a 10% threshold. Note that if the value is raised above the current usage level, users will be unable to allocate files until enough files have been deleted to get under the higher threshold

If the value of minfree (see above) is less than 10%, then the file system should optimize for space to avoid running out of full sized blocks. For values of minfree greater than or equal to 10%, fragmentation is unlikely to be problematical, and the file system can be optimized for time
