I think relatime is the default. This is something in between noatime and
full atime updates, that has most of the efficentcy of noatime (number of disk
writes is quite reduced) and most of the correctness of atime (e.g. mutt
doesn't "break").
From man 8 mount:
relatime
Update inode access times relative to modify or change
time. Access time is only updated if the previous access
time was earlier than the current modify or change time.
(Similar to noatime, but doesn’t break mutt or other
applications that need to know if a file has been read
since the last time it was modified.)
I couldn't find the documentation that said relatime was the default, but I
thought I read it somewhere.
