1. What's that? qmail's queue can be mounted noatime? Huh! 
Please try "grep atime /usr/src/qmail/qmail-1.03/*c" and then 
withdraw your claims. atime is used to identify ossified files in the 
queue.

2. Why would you want to patch qmail to skip fsync() calls? 
Doesn't mounting your queue with "nosync" have the same effect? 
(It's a very silly idea to do so, though.) The sync/nosync can be 
changed with a simple remount - patched qmail has to be 
recompiled, stopped and replaced.

3. I am not sure the "sync" patch from that article is sufficient; you 
don't only need "link" but also open/creat, unlink and rename to be 
"post-synced" the same way.


To anyone reading the article mentioned: Please take it with a 
grain of salt. There are some good ideas and there are some 
misconceptions.
