Can you apply noatime on Ext3 partitions at realtime?
- by bzero
an application accesses a disk directory containing about 3 million files (including directories).
I would like to apply the noatime option for that filesystem and I would like to know whether I can do that while applications are running and accessing that filesystem.
the command I'd apply would look like this:
mount -o remount,noatime /
Any experience with that? I run one single application using the file system, and it is a 100% Java application (1 JVM running).
Ubuntu Version: 9.10 (Karmic)
Thanks!
