Binary package hint: mount

In addition to [no]atime, and [no]diratime, 2.6.20 also supports [no]relatime.

Please update mount or patch mount to support these mount options.

This bug was nominated for Gutsy but does currently not qualify for a 7.10 stable release update (SRU) and the nomination is therefore declined.
According the the SRU policy, the fix should already be deployed and tested in the current development version before an update to the stable releases will be considered. With 7.10 now released, that policy applies to this bug. See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates .
The bug is not being closed as work will continue on fixing it for the next release, Hardy Heron (8.04). If the state of this bug should change such that it qualifies for the SRU process, please contact the person who originally declined it and ask them to re-evaluate it. To help improve the state of this bug see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage .

Brain:

It's already in Gutsy. I filed it relative to Feisty which *could* have supported relatime if mount supported it because the Feisty kernel (2.6.20) supported relatime.
