> Most subvolumes can be mounted with noatime

This noatime thing is an old-wive's tale that needs to die.

AFAIK, most "modern" filesystems (XFS,BTRFS etc.) all default to relatime

relatime maintains atime but without the overhead

EDIT TO ADD:

Actually,I've just done a bit of searching .... relatime has been the kernel mount default since >= 2.6.30 ! [1]
