See the mount(8) man page: strictatime Allows to explicitly requesting full atime updates. This makes it possible for kernel to defaults to relatime or noatime but still allow userspace to override it. For more details about the default system mount options see /proc/mounts. It's passed down to the kernel via the MS_STRICTATIME flag. All you need to do is make ubifs aware of this flag... Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Chinner david@fromorbit.com
