Description of problem: I want to mount a filesystem using option 'atime'. I have change the fstab file change the default to atime then reboot machine. It doesnt work. And I try to remount it using. #mount /somefolder -o remount,atime it also doesnt work At the same time the option both 'ro' ant 'rw' works well. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): My kernel version: [root@localhost ~]# uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.29.4-167.fc11.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed May 27 17:27:08 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [root@localhost ~]# rpm -q util-linux-ng util-linux-ng-2.16-8.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.try to mount a fs in option atime. 2. 3. Actual results: The option still the defaule relatime Expected results: option change to atime Additional info:
You have to use "strictatime" mount option to override kernel relatime or noatime default. (I did a change in the upstream mount.8 man page -- now it should be more obvious that 'strictatime' is necessary. So thanks for your report ;-)
Thank you.
