Public SourceMage Discussion List

Hey there, I just fixed a little problem that has bothered me since I 
started with Sourcemage: Mutt wouldn't pick up on new mail, always 
thinking that a mailbox had new mail in it as soon as I left it.

I found that the cause of this was 'noatime' being applied to most of my 
partitions, which I'm quite sure I didn't do myself. Was there a reason 
for this? (Except obviously the times that noatime is supposed to be 
used: performance tweaking etc). This would be a legacy of when I 
installed Sourcemage however long ago (*checks* ... the first message in 
~/Mail/sourcemage is dated 1/7/02...thats today a year ago :). 
I also decided to take a look at the other options that where there, and 
found that all my reiserfs partitions had 'notail'. Is there a reason 
for this one? (I guess it may may matter on a /boot partition, 
apparently it can confuse LILO a bit)
