Solved newfs: status of optimization

Hi,

Is it possible to look the status of the -o option (= optimization space or time) of newfs(8) when FreeBSD is running ?

And by the way, if the -m option (= min-free) of newfs(8) is used only to store files by root when the disk is full or it is used for many operations too (like may be maintenance of the disk)?
 
Use tunefs -p [i]filesystem[/i] to see the current settings.

The reserved space is just space. It can be used any way the root user wishes. Since it only comes into play when the filesystem is overfull, it is usually either not used, or used temporarily for file organization when moving out old stuff to make room.
