How to mount ext3 root partition with noatime and ro options at boot-time
 

Hi all,** * * *I was trying to mount root-partition which is ext3 partition with noatime and ro option. I included "ro" in the kernel command line *But for mounting it with "noatime" option when I searched for some solution I came across a patch*

** * * * * * * **http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/5/38*** * * *But after applying this patch and including option "noatime" in kernel command line , kernel by default mounts all the partition with "noatime" option which is not my requirement. I just want to mount root partition with ro and noatime option and other partitions with atime option at boottime only. So please help me in this regard.

** * * *Thanking you all in advance.
Cheers,AM

Use tune2fs(8) to set default mount options for this partition. Or use the
"rootflags=" bootparameter, e.g. rootflags=noatime,ro for setting noatime
& readonly for the root filesystem.

How to mount ext3 root partition with noatime and ro options at boot-time
 

So, if you mount the system ro, then why do you even need noatime -- since atime can't be updated at all if you're not writing to the filesystem.
