[tech] atime broken with morwong's NFS

[Matt Johnston]

Hi all,

Since a few months ago, morwong's file access-times for NFS mounts
haven't been updating, which stuffs up mail clients etc. It seems to be a
server issue, since various clients have the issue (mussel, piggery), and
meito:/space mounted on mussel doesn't have that problem.

The mtimes update fine, and the atimes update fine locally on morwong
(looking with ls -l and ls -lu). 

Has anyone seen this before, or got suggestions on sorting it out? If
people could read mail happily on mussel, it'd take a nice bit of load off
from morwong.

Matt
