atime and ctime

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1

In a way it is, because it requires additional modification (writes) every time you open a file for reading. For some slower drives it makes sense to disable it with the 'noatime' mount option. Personally I like to leave it enabled because it helps me when I have to clean uptmp-.

It's not, as you could easily show yourself:

$ touch file

$ stat file File: `file' Device: 307h-775d Inode: 5341686 Links: 1 Access: (0644--rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 1001 Peter) Gid: ( 1001 Peter) Access: 2005-02-11 15:51:43.703714748 +0100 Modify: 2005-02-11 15:51:43.703714748 +0100 Change: 2005-02-11 15:51:43.703714748 +0100

Printing from Windows to a CUPS printer
bigbob here is my CUPS file. ill probably get roasted for posting it as it is nothing special., but it works. make sure you back up...

$ cat file

$ stat file File: `file' Device: 307h-775d Inode: 5341686 Links: 1 Access: (0644--rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 1001 Peter) Gid: ( 1001 Peter) Access: 2005-02-11 15:51:52.917140608 +0100 Modify: 2005-02-11 15:51:43.703714748 +0100 Change: 2005-02-11 15:51:43.703714748 +0100

See, the Access time was modified, but the Change time was not.

Since changing the atime does not change the ctime, the advantages you see are actually there.
