Hey Steve, noatime means that the access time is not updated each time a file is referenced. If you never have need for this information you'll save a small update. This is valid option for most (all?) filesystems; personally i don't disable atime except on laptops. notail is a feature specific to reiserfs and stops small files from being packed into the reiser tree structure. You lose one of the nice features of reiser if you do this, because small files end up costing you more disk space. The only reason i'm aware that you would sacrifice this option is so that LILO and boot loaders don't get confused, but this is only a problem on the boot partition.
