Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I just found out that 'noatime' mount option is ignored on my system for |
| 4 |
/ (root) partition. In /etc/fstab I have entry for /: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
/dev/sda6 / ext3 noatime,usrquota,grpquota |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
and 'mount' command shows: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
/dev/sda6 on / type ext3 (rw,noatime,usrquota,grpquota) |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
but /proc/mounts does not show noatime option: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
/dev/root / ext3 rw,data=ordered,usrquota,grpquota 0 0 |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
When I do 'cat <some_file>', 'ls -lu' shows that its access time _is_ |
| 17 |
modified. However I can do 'mount -o remount /' and filesystem is then |
| 18 |
remounted correctly (access time is not modified anymore), I want to |
| 19 |
ask if this is normal behaviour and remounting / after boot is common |
| 20 |
solution. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
The root of problem is probably the fact, that /etc/fstab is not |
| 23 |
available when / is about to mount. But I did not find it mentioned in |
| 24 |
any ext3 tweaking guide or so. Everywhere is just "add noatime option |
| 25 |
to fstab and you're fine". In Gentoo Handbook is also nothing about |
| 26 |
it (and noatime option is used for /). |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I think initrd could solve this problem but I do not want it. |

Is noatime for / working for you? |
