"relative atime only updates the atime if the previous atime is older
than the mtime or ctime. Like noatime, but useful for applications like
mutt that need to know when a file has been read since it was last
modified." - from http://kerneltrap.org/node/14148

Good point - I will use "relatime" instead of "noatime".

Thanks!
