I've recently been reading about Linux's O_NOATIME flag to open(2), and I'm curious why we haven't implemented this. There seem to be a lot of good reasons to implement such a thing. Chances are it's due to lack of time/interest, which is expected, but I was wondering if there were other reasons. I realise mount's noatime trumps this, but there are lots of scenarios where atime is desired as a default, but disabled in specific cases. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
