Hi,
Is it save to mount "/" with the noatime flag, or are there still
packages which depend on an accurate access time?
My system is a desktop running xfce, so no weird mail-servers ;)
Thank you in advance, Clemens
Unfortunately there are apps that may act incorrectly, either with noatime or
relatime.
Possible examples: procmail, mutt, mailx, perhaps few more known and unknown
yet (incl. sysadmin commands).
So, it is your call.
