Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I've heard of someone who has disabled the directory updating of last accessed time for files. They found a significant improvement in their news server performance. For a news server, storing last accessed time is not particularly important. I've glanced through the code, but I am unsure where to disable the writing of last access time in directory. Has anyone ever done this with FreeBSD? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Kevin Rosenberg | CyberPort Station Chief System Administrator | The Finest Internet Service Possible! kevin@cyberport.com | http://www.cyberport.com Finger kevin@cyberport.com for PGP Public Key --------------------------------------------------------------------
