  • tune2fs will only work if OP is running a ext* filesystem. I believe some distros are starting to experimentally ship with btrfs roots by default nowadays. Commented Dec 31, 2013 at 2:58
  • @strugee - thanks for clarifying that. I hadn't heard of this. Know which distros this might be? BTW, he's on a VPS on Amazon so I highly doubt this will be an issue there. Commented Dec 31, 2013 at 3:02
  • true. I thought it was Red Hat, but that didn't seem right so I Googled. looks like I was remembering wrong; I must have been thinking of the option for btrfs being included, not being set as the default. Commented Dec 31, 2013 at 3:06
  • @strugee - that makes more sense, I could see it being offered as an option, but making it a default, seems like a few years off, until btrfs has aged a bit more. Commented Dec 31, 2013 at 3:07
