Re: [ovirt-users] Q: ext4 noatime/nidiratime for oVirt node mount points

I am not sure of the implications of changing these parameters, and I do not see an perceivable benefits from doing so.

I have small node where system and data domains located on the same RAID. Data domains are on separate partitions. These options allow minimise disk access activity.

Hi !
Is it safe to turn on these options (noatime, nodiratime) in oVirt node fstab for these mount points? /home / /tmp /var /var/log /var/log/audit
Node 4.2 installed on CentOS, not with node DVD.
Thanks.

I was just curious, and I concur that there is no logic in not just using the defaults. On Thu, Jan 4, 2018 at 1:46 PM, Yaniv Kaul <ykaul@redhat.com> wrote:
