Subject: what happened to RELATIME?

Looking in 2.6.23 sources it seems like only ocfs2 has added
support for RELATIME. Was RELATIME a bad idea or is there
some other reason other filesystems hasn't added support?

Ocfs2 just needs a bit of explicit support - as far as I recall, other file
systems should have gotten it automagically via the generic vfs changes.

Ahh, that explains it. Can anyone confirm that all in
FS:es honours relatime?
