I want to use tunefs to reclaim disk space on larger partitions and to 
force optimization for speed.

I just want to confirm what I get from the man pages.

I must unmount the partition first for it to stick?

Its wont change any of the contents on the parition?  (meaning I wont 
wipe myself out will I?)

For the value on minfree - does a whole integer such as 5 mean 5 percent? 
or does one put .05 or 5%?  with optimization the man page says the value 
forced speed or space but doesnt provide what values are valid.  Does 
anyone know?

Any insight, hand holding, etc appreciated as always!
