'noatime' volume setting option
Just wondering if there's a possibility of getting a 'noatime' option added to the volume settings in ReadyNAS OS 6.
This is something I've often used in the past on other file systems, but with BTRFS it can have even stronger affects on performance than most.
The BTRFS wiki notes the issue, and while they have opted for 'relatime' by default, they acknowledge noatime can be better (if it doesn't break anything).

If there's nothing in the stock ReadyNAS OS 6 that would break from noatime, this could be a useful performance setting for many users. And even if it's got the potential to break an app/add-on, it's fairly easy to detect if it's been enabled or not.
