This is not really correct: relatime is the kernel default and works fine with the cache. atime values updated once a day are still plenty for caches with a multi-day preservation default. > Attempt to update the atime manually so that the cache works properly. Has this been observed to work on noatime-mounted filesystems? It's at worst harmless so we could merge it, but it's kind of weird. Do you know such precedents in other software that consumes atime? - FChE
