Mounting devices with noatime?

[bender02]

Is there a way to mount the device on which databases are stored with ‘option=noatime’? I have it on a CF card, and that would help to increase the lifespan of the card.

I haven’t tried but would suggest to add “noatime” to /etc/fstab

For example:

/dev/sda1    /boot ext3 noauto,noatime 1 1

/dev/sda2    /     ext3 noatime        0 0

/dev/sda3    none  swap sw             0 0

(Fulvio please correct me if I’m wrong)

Well the problem is that the stuff mounted from fstab in zeroshell is all either in ram or mounted read-only, so there’s no problem with that. The partition that I wanted to mount with noatime is the partition that holds Profiles (it’s even labelled Profiles), and that one is not mentioned in fstab – I assume it’s because not every zeroshell install does necessarily have one; and it’s mounted somewhere from some script.

Probably, you just need to put the following command in the pre boot script:

mount -o remount,noatime /DB
mount -o remount,noatime /Database
