Package: guix
Version: 0.16.0
Severity: wishlist

This is useful for mounting drives with limited write lifetime such as
cheap ssds, and there have been some historical reports of noatime
causing COW-linked files on btrfs to split.

Date: Mon, 29 Apr 2019 01:02:33 +0900
[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Add a no-atime flag to the file-system flags parameter and updates the
relevant documentation.

I believe these changes in the documentation give readers a starting
point for how to understand flags vs options, as well as indicate that
the reference is complete (that there isn't a separate reference with
more flags listed somewhere).

I tweaked the doc, added a commit log that follows our conventions¹, and
committed.

Thank you!

Let's also add MS_RELATIME which is halfway between noatime and atime.
