Sorry for chiming in late on this, but it sounds an lot like what I saw once when I tried a performance tweak on one of my filesystems. Some filesystems have a mount option noatime to not update file access times -- needless to say this is not normal and you should know what you're doing before trying this. You would want to make sure you're not using any software that depends on access times, e.g. mutt! Is it possible the filesystem in question has this behaviour? -- Paul Ackersviller
