When I mount the root file-system and the proc file-system on an embedded system, I use MS_NOATIME|MS_NODIRTIME for the flags. No errors are reported and the file-systems are mounted.
However, the (struct stat) st_mtime of the /proc directory is updated at every access and the st_mtime of any special files like terminals are also updated. In fact, the time appears to be updated on every keystroke when a terminal is active on the file-systems.
How do I prevent this from occurring? These files were NOT modified and st_mtime is supposed to show the modification times, not the time at which it was accessed.
