Noatime refers to a flag that can be set on the filesystem. By default, the access timestamp is recorded and saved in a unix filesystem (the last time you access a file, any file). This requires a write to the disk for /every/ thing you do with files, and on a unix system, everything is a file. So it will add up to many many writes. The flag noatime disables this behaviour and no access timestamps are recorded/saved. Mutt is a command-line email reader; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutt_(email_client) This has been a long time standard email client on many systems and is still in use today. It is *still* in development (last release ~16 days ago). -- Greetings Bertho (disclaimers are disclaimed) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Announcing the Oxford Dictionaries API!
