LOL, you 'advanced user' you. I did one partition instead of the 'split.
Code:
/dev/sda1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro,noatime,nodiratime 0 1
/dev/sda9 /home ext3 defaults,noatime,nodiratime 0 2
/dev/sda8 /tmp ext3 defaults,noatime,nodiratime 0 2
/dev/sda5 /usr ext3 defaults,noatime,nodiratime 0 2
/dev/sda6 /var ext3 defaults,noatime,nodiratime 0 2
Basically, any ext3 partition add noatime,nodiratime. I've read that nodiratime is a subset of noatime but I also read the kernel.org discussion with Linus. I'll admin I didn't man it so I just went with the suggestion. I'm not pedantic so I'm find with a small amount of unnecessary repetition if that is the case.
