How do you determine the atime without accessing the file, or keeping
some sort of accounting? How do you update that accounting without
accessing the file? What happens when a bunch of files are seen to be
rarely accessed? What happens when you start using some of these files?

How can you tell how often a file is accessed just by looking at the
last time it was accessed?

Just some food for thought.
