Looks like we get a good performance boost and only tmpwatch and mutt with mbox seems to be affected. A simple patch to tmpwatch has been posted on the same thread.
Thoughts on disabling it?
I'm using noatime on all Ext3 filesystems on a bunch of Fedora 7, CentOS 5 and Ubuntu 7.04 machines - desktops, workstations, VMware guests, servers with a variety of network services.
Zero issues so far.
