Umm, no f**king way. atime selection is 100% policy and belongs into userspace. Add to that the problem that we can't actually re-enable atimes because of the way the vfs-level mount flags API is designed. Instead of doing such a fugly kernel patch just talk to the handfull of distributions that matter to update their defaults. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
