Yes, this is definitely the case. > It would be nice if the mount man page reflected this. > > Perhaps some wording like: > > nodiratime > Do not update directory inode access times on this > filesystem. Implied by noatime. mount.8 isn't in my set, but I agree that some text like this would be useful in the upstream mount.8 page. I have added a sentence to make this clear in the mount.2 page: MS_NODIRATIME Do not update access times for directories on this file system. This flag provides a subset of the functionality provided by MS_NOATIME; that is, MS_NOATIME implies MS_NODIRATIME. The change will be in man-pages-2.74.
