Bottom line: disable atime on all systems unless you _really_ need to do

I'd like to try this on this laptop. How do you do it?
Put noatime in the options bit on the fstab and that should do the trick. For details, see "man 8 mount". You can have noatime, nodiratime (I am not sue if this is covered with the first option, really).

The "defaults" key word usually maps to: rw, suid, dev,exec,auto,nouser,async

On top of that atime is also is used as a default.

Once you remount your partition, mount should report like:
/dev/sda1 on /data8 type ext3 (rw,noatime)

Works here. :)
