I was thinking of disabling atime on my rpool to cut down on SSD writes,
are there any parts of the OS that will break without atime enabled?
Seems like a FAQ but I couldn't find anything definitive.

Linux has a mode called relatime which is defined as:

"relative atime only updates the atime if the previous atime is older
than the mtime or ctime. Like noatime, but useful for applications like
mutt that need to know when a file has been read since it was last
modified."

Would there be any interest in adding something similar to zfs like
"atime=relative"?

Thanks...
