Bug#436785: partman: Support relatime mount option and possibly enable by default



Package: partman-base
Severity: wishlist

You should probably look at setting the new 'relatime' mount option by 
default for new installations. It's supported in current kernels and mount.
It should st least be supported in partman.
See [1] for a very interesting discussion about relatime.

For the "multi" recipes it could even be an option to set 'noatime' by 
default for some filesystems (like /boot and /usr).
I understand Ubuntu is possibly already doing this.

Filing the BR against partman-base as this affects multiple partman 
components. This will need some additional research as I have not checked 
if all filesystems support relatime.

Possibly in the future 'relatime' can be enabled by default using a kernel 
option.

Cheers,
FJP
