Well, this certainly started an interesting series on noatime and SU. If I could just review the score so far, we have: 1 for "It's a Bad Thing" later retracted 2 for "I've never heard this and I do it, you must be thinking of async" 1 for "It's superstition, noatime and SU are fine" 2 for "It likely triggers an access change that exposes a SU bug" 1 for "It breaks your dependency graph into pieces" (perhaps I should count this as 2 for "Bad Thing") I think we need a decision from the referee. -- Kevin Street street@iName.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
