[Bug 398616] New: Mount: Replace atime default with relatime
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=398616 Summary: Mount: Replace atime default with relatime Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: RC 1 Platform: Other OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mglenn@cco.state.oh.us QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Beta-Customer Hello, it's me again. Here's something: Every time I install a Linux box, one of the first things I do is go straight to fstab and add noatime to the root and home mounts, especially when it comes to laptops. It seems to really cut back on the disk I/Os. Now, I understand there's some apps out there that get upset when they don't have access to a fresh access time stamp (though I've never encountered them myself), so instead of asking to have mounts default to a hard noatime, I'd like to suggest defaulting to *relatime*, which only updates atime when it is older than mtime or ctime, or when the file was last accessed more than one day ago.
