fstab

Hello,
So my fstab in a old pc looks like this:

/         	ext4      	rw,relatime   0 1
/home     	xfs       	rw,relatime,attr2,inode64,noquota	0 2

? - Follow the wiki to improve perfomance on ext4 can I change it to:

/    ext4    defaults,noatime    0    1

Really?  Well -- there's your problem

(Hint: That is not a valid fstab)

Edit: Also, there was no question there.

Re: fstab

You can also improve performance (vastly) by linking $HOME to /dev/null…

There's no general answer to whether you'll get away w/ noatime, you've to try.
relatime,lazytime is a less problem-prone alternative.
