[OpenAFS] Linux noatime mount option

[Rubino Geiß]

Yes, we use -noatime for all production fs (4 boxes).

In our very special benchmarks it gained 2 .. 10 % initial-read performance.
As well as the saturation of disk array diminished.

As far as I know it, access time is not needed by namei fs.

Bye, Ruby
