Perhaps you should take a closer look at what bsdinstall does when it creates a zfs install pool and boot environment, you might just find that noatime is already set everywhere but on /var/mail: /usr/libexec/bsdinstall/zfsboot:: ${ZFSBOOT_POOL_CREATE_OPTIONS:=-O compress=lz4 -O atime=off} /usr/libexec/bsdinstall/zfsboot: /var/mail atime=on > > I fully agree to not violate POLA by changing the default to noatime in > any FS.

Little late... iirc its been that way since day one of zfs support in bsdinstall. > -- > http://www.Leidinger.net alexan...@leidinger.net: PGP 0x8F31830F9F2772BF > http://www.FreeBSD.org netch...@freebsd.org : PGP 0x8F31830F9F2772BF -- Rod Grimes rgri...@freebsd.org
