Hi RakuOS dev team,


Please mount btrfs volumes with noatime instead of relatime.

The performance is huge with that change.


Thanks

I know it's as easy as doing "sudo rpm-ostree kargs --append=rootflags=noatime", but would like to see it as default.

Good choice! With noatime enabled the CPU + fan is less active with better overall performance.

Not to mention when you have a lot of disk I/O, noatime makes a gigantic difference.
