NFS atime behavior is not documented

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi-

It was recently pointed out to me that the behavior of atime on NFS mount points is pretty dodgy, yet this is not documented anywhere, not even in the venerable and unmaintained Linux NFS FAQ.

A good place to cover this topic might be nfs(5).  It could discuss how the Linux NFS client deals with the various *atime mount options (mostly be collapsing them into relatime, all the time).  And it could discuss how file timestamps are updated when the physical backing store is on another system.

Thoughts?  Comments?
