One of the suggestions for improving the longevity of solid-state drives is to mount them using the noatime flag which reduces the number of times that inodes are written to. if I try something like:
UUID=[string] / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
It works. If I put relatime there, that works but if I use
noatime, the line is flagged as bad.
The man page for mount shows noatime and relatime so why
does noatime not work?
Many thanks.
