| |
I have just finished upgrading to mount-2.8-4 and am using the mount options "noatime" and "nodiratime" on the following partitions:
/dev/hda5 / ext2 defaults 1 1 /dev/hda7 /home ext2 noatime,nodiratime 1 2 /dev/hda2 /stuff ext2 noatime,nodiratime 1 2 /dev/hda9 /usr ext2 noatime,nodiratime 1 2 /dev/hda8 /usr/local ext2 noatime,nodiratime 1 2
What possible things could break with this configuration? What actually USES the ATIME date stamp on files and directories? I don't use any backup software or anything like that. I'm just curious as to wether I can expect weird behaviour from any programs now or not?
Is it safe to do noatime and nodiratime on "/" as well?
Assuming nothing major breaks, are there any other wierdnesses I should be aware of?
