Please tell me

Post by alex.barylski »

Does the following fstab tell my system to mount the main HDD with atime enabled? I want to use last access field to locate files in a project which are not used frequently and remove them.

Is atime supported here?

Code: Select all

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
/dev/hdb1       /               ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
/dev/hdb5       none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/hda        /media/cdrom0   iso9660 ro,user,noauto  0       0
/dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0
Thanks :)

Since there is no attribute value 'noatime' for your /dev/hdb1 i'm tempted to say: yes (unless someone issued chattr +A on the files)
