Re: How to mount ext3 root partition with noatime and ro options at boot-time

So, if you mount the system ro, then why do you even need noatime -- since atime can't be updated at all if you're not writing to the filesystem.

Use tune2fs(8) to set default mount options for this partition. Or use the
"rootflags=" bootparameter, e.g. rootflags=noatime,ro for setting noatime
& readonly for the root filesystem.
