The update time feature is a POSIX requirement.

I couldn't find any reason not to use 'noatime' for a personal use of Linux.
Everything seems right... But tell me if there are system utilities that
rely
on update times to work !

Of course, it's quite different for a server in a network environnment : for
security reasons, it's very useful to know the date of the last access to a
file !

I looked at the man page after reading this!  Is there a good reason *not*
to use the 'noatime' option?  Will it cause problems in the future with
nodes not having update times?
