>Description:
tuning(7) manpage says that `noatime' mount option should not be used for / and /usr filesystems as some system utilities rely on correct access timestamps.  This should be extended to /var as well, because /var typically contains mailboxes, whose access and modification timestamps are used to determine arrival of new mail.
