Once upon a time, Kenneth Porter shiva@sewingwitch.com said:
According to the man page for mount, relatime updates atime whenever mtime or ctime are updated, or if neither has been updated in the last 24 hours. Which is still prohibitive if you're doing an incremental (rsync) backup and checking file contents on the "full" backup weekly or monthly.
Unless you never write to the disk, that will still be lost in the noise of writes. But if it still bothers you, use rsync --open-noatime.
