OK, I'm not really absolutely totally sure it was in 2.0.30 already. I've got my own 2.0.31-pre2 installed (a pre-release of 2.0.31), and that one gives me the options: Second extended fs support (CONFIG_EXT2_FS) [Y/m/n/?] Y NO_ATIME support for ext2 filesystems (CONFIG_EXT2_NOATIME) [N/y/?] N I'm not sure where you can get pre2, but at least it seems available from ftp://ftp.cistron.nl/pub/os/linux/kernel/v2.0/pre-patch-2.0.31-2.gz, and probably from any good ftp site near you. > > > (inode's access time is not updated after reads). > > > mount_2.6d-1.deb doesn't seem to recognize this option (moount -o > > > noatime), or what is the right option. > > > > Does appear to be the correct option (man mount). > > What is the mount package you are using? 2.6g-1, sorry for forgetting to mention that. > I've got mount 2.6d-1 installed: > # mount -o noatime /dev/sdc1 /mnt > mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc1, > or too many mounted file systems mount -o noatime -t ext2 /dev/sd /mnt mount: special device /dev/sd does not exist Mind you, I'm not going to mess with my system, so I didnt' try to use an real devices like /dev/hda1.
