Try it yourself. :-) I know what you are saying and run the test probably 8 times before posting results. I also have the audit rule loaded...so removing it: [sgrubb@x2 noatime]$ time ./test noatime real 0m0.031s user 0m0.006s sys 0m0.024s [sgrubb@x2 noatime]$ time ./test noatime real 0m0.033s user 0m0.002s sys 0m0.032s [sgrubb@x2 noatime]$ time ./test noatime real 0m0.036s user 0m0.002s sys 0m0.031s [sgrubb@x2 noatime]$ time ./test atime real 0m0.023s user 0m0.001s sys 0m0.021s [sgrubb@x2 noatime]$ time ./test atime real 0m0.022s user 0m0.003s sys 0m0.019s [sgrubb@x2 noatime]$ time ./test atime real 0m0.023s user 0m0.002s sys 0m0.019s Without the audit rules, it is faster. But again opening with noatime attempted is measurably slower. -Steve -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
