Dear All,

Quick question, can I get away by setting "zfs set atime=off 
on_all_my_voulmes_mgt_mdt_and_osts" ? I ask this as it is noted to be 
performance boosting tip with the assumption filesystems(Lustre) handles all 
access times?

You don't really need atime enabled on the OSTs, but I also don't think 
"atime=off" will make any difference.  That is a VFS/ZPL level option, and 
Lustre osd-zfs doesn't use any of the ZPL code, but rather handles atime 
internally.

Cheers, Andreas
