Being a BSD and Solaris guy (ZFS for years!), I brought up my new 
Observium installation putting mariadb on one ZFS mirror, and Observium 
on another.  One thing that can improve performance is by disabling the 
atime attribute on a filesystem.  Does Observium or mysql/mariadb care 
about this, or can I safely disable it on either or both  filesystems? 
It won't impact the normal timestamps, just the tracking of the last 
access time of individual files.

Thanks again.
