https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=231129 --- Comment #3 from Dennis Clarke <dclarke@blastwave.org> --- The zfs manpage could perhaps be updated to reflect that the installer disables this feature by default. Currently we see : atime=on | off Controls whether the access time for files is updated when they are read. Turning this property off avoids producing write traffic when reading files and can result in significant performance gains, though it might confuse mailers and other similar utilities. The default value is on. The default in 11.2 and 12.0beta2 and beta3 is to disable the UNIX atime feature silently and thus the user will never know. The manpage should reflect this information as the "default value is on" will lead anyone to think there is a failure in their system after initial install. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
