From: Valerie Henson Subject: [patch 0/1] Relative atime Date: Fri, 25 Aug 2006 16:52:15 -0700 Message-ID: <20060825235215.820563000@linux.intel.com> Cc: Akkana Peck , Mark Fasheh , Jesse Barnes , Arjan van de Ven , Chris Wedgewood , jsipek@cs.sunysb.edu, Al Viro , Christoph Hellwig , Adrian Bunk Return-path: Received: from mga06.intel.com ([134.134.136.21]:48781 "EHLO orsmga101.jf.intel.com") by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S932236AbWHYXwj (ORCPT ); Fri, 25 Aug 2006 19:52:39 -0400 To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org Sender: linux-fsdevel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-fsdevel.vger.kernel.org There was enough interest in the relative atime patches that I went ahead and implemented support in the mount command as well, and cleaned up the patches for inclusion. Relative atime only updates the atime if the previous atime is older than the mtime or ctime. It's like noatime, but useful for applications like mutt that need to know whether a file has been read since it was last modified. -VAL
