You cannot mount without mtime (I misspelt it -- utime is the syscall)
AFAIK.  You can mount without atime (access time).  mtime is changed
every time the file is modified.  ctime is changed every time the inode
is modified (file size change, permissions, etc.)  atime is changed
every time the file is accessed.
