Disabling File Access Timestamps- Is this a bad thing to do?

edited Jul 19, 2012 2:25AM in Oracle Solaris ZFS File System (MOSC) 2 commentsAnswered
There is a ZFS setting to disable file access timestamps. This could improve performance – maintaining file access times means the system has to write to disk even when the application is just reading data; disabling this removes the need for these disk writes.

 

My question is would Oracle get confused if the access timestamps on its data files were not updated?

Howdy, Stranger!
