Subject: Re: [RFC] [PATCH] Relative lazy atime 

BTW, there may be another atime mode to consider, which I believe is what
Windows XP does w/ NTFS: only update the atime if it's newer than the
on-disk file's atime by N seconds (defaults to one hour, but I believe it's
configurable).  There could be scenarios in which this mode is preferable.

Erez.
