of course they do. there are still atime updates
for example that will be handled if not mount read-only.

I find it more efficient to mount a special partition here as well with noatime on it to address that. It's it better? Mounting that partition read only would restrict the changes to the site no?

/dev/wd1a /var/www/sites ffs rw,noatime,nodev,nosuid 1 2

Unless you can have two different mount point to the same partition? Never tried it and always assume it wouldn't be possible anyway. Like:

/dev/wd1a /var/www/sites ffs rw,nodev,nosuid 1 2

/dev/wd1a /var/www/siteswrite ffs rw,nodev,nosuid 1 2

Can this be done and if so, any drawback to it? So, you configure httpd.conf to use the /var/www/sites, the logs portion of httpd to use /var/www/sites/logs mounted softdep and then /var/www/siteswrite for you to use to change the files on the sites?

I don't know, does it really make sense?
