Turning off atime is not new and even with ancient UNIXes it provided miniscule gains in outright throughput, although I suspect it can be possible to create a contrieved benchmark to demonstrate improvement. I do not expect noatime to be justifiable on the grounds of performance. However, if dropping atime allows to reduce the number of hard drive spin-ups, I'm all for it. -- Pete -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
