I think this change is mostly due admin time per machine. Even if you use LVM your admin time per machine is higher if you have lots of separate partitions. bt

btw you might want relatime rather than noatime.
- eru 16y agoActually, you might want relatime rather than atime. Noatime is fine, if you do not rely on read access times, i.e. almost all situations.
- nodata 16y agoThe problem is that you don't really know which applications do rely on read access times, and because the performance jump between atime<->noatime and atime<->relatime is pretty much the same, I always go for the safer option.
- eru 16y agoI agree. Just use relatime by default and be done with it. (Though I have usually gone without atime, and just made a partition for my emails with atime to make mutt happy.)
