Maybe... but then, some times I grep on all my home dir, so they all would
have the same date. Now, there is beagle, that I suppose does some of
that as well. Then, I restored a full backup after a disaster last
February, so all that time info years old would have been deleted
anyway... I mean, none of those stamps show real access dates. Not when
"I" accessed them, anyway.
I enabled noatime (ie, disable that timestamp) around two years ago, I
think, but I forgot nodiratime: I'm activating that now, too. I prefer
disk speed over that small info I don't use. I might use it, but...
haven't found a good use for it yet, so off it goes :-)
