Hi all, In which cases using tune2fs should I unmount the filesystem? On the manpage there's no reference about online or offline operations. It would be nice to be specified there, wouldn't? regards, -- Jordi

All other options should be safe to alter with the filesystem mounted. However personally I'd recommend to unmount (any) fileystem first before tuning it - if possible.
