The majority of people - especially the home use - has little or no use for it whatsoever. Its a bit like the way mount fails on a broken fstab, it assumes that if you are messing with the fstab you know what you are doing. Equally anyone who _needs_ atime knows what they are doing and how to enable it. Any sort of fancy /etc/sysconfig trick is more effort than is needed, when the only change needed to undo it is to remove an option from the fstab. Just because something was always that way doesn't mean it needs to stay that way - and whatever the numbers, noatime *does* improve performance. -- Benjamin Lewis Fedora Ambassador ben.lewis@xxxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- http://benl.co.uk./ PGP Key: 0x647E480C "In cases of major discrepancy, it is always reality that got it wrong" -- RFC 1118
