For what it's worth, I always mount all of my filesystems with 
noatime/nodiratime, because *except under very special conditions*, 
knowing when a file was last ACCESSED is of very little use.  (And if 
one of those special conditions applies to you, you probably already 
know it.)  Tracking atime mostly just adds pointless overhead, with no 
actual benefit to 99.99% of users.
