I'm confused: I go to the trouble to produce the same end result as your suggested change of defaults would produce, ending up with no recording of access times. Nothing about that of itself implies that I'd want the defaults for mount notation or /etc/fstab notation or the like changed --or that I'd want them unchanged. To narrow of a context for such a judgment about defaults. In case the potential confusion is involved, I'll quote another reply that I just made relative to more potential use of notime: QUOTE I've not reported any objection to bsdinstall having explicit choices required in its menus. Nor to changing how, say, official snapshots are generated (so long as well notified and documented). If my wording was unclear on that, I'm sorry. My focus was on things like mount command notation and /etc/fstab notation (that tracks mount defaults) or subroutine interface equivalents of such things and changing their behavior without requiring changing the notation already in place in various files. (I've tried to word the above without making new points, avoiding contributing more to the bike shed material.) END QUOTE === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com
