--- Comment #8 from Tomek thinred@o2.pl 2011-09-14 14:32:04 CDT --- Looking at basic differences between ext3 and ext4 I remember that 'noatime' option is used by default for ext4 in many distros (on Ubuntu anyway). I think that ext3 generally has 'atime' on.
So I've tried this (before starting BG2):
sudo mount -o remount,atime /
And it actually works for me (so far).
Piotr - if you want and have time at the same time, you could try this. I will try to play now to see if it works in a long run.
