Or, did I miss something? : :Then, next thought: why don't we mount / noatime? : :Sincerely, :D.Marck [DM5020, DM268-RIPE, DM3-RIPN] atime updates work the same whether softupdates is on or off. They are asynchronous and deferred in both cases. There are certainly many people who turn off atime on root, but there are still some things (idle time calculation for ttys?) that I believe use atime in /dev. I could be wrong. -Matt Matthew Dillon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
