A customer of mine for our embedded products was relating to me his worries about using Compact Flash with Linux. He claimed that Linux (in ext2, ext3, possibly others) filesystems, when mounted read/write, will write to the filesystem every-time a file is read, in order to update some time-stamp (atime?) I don't believe him, but since I wasn't sure, i couldn't argue with this. Is this true? -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
