    Hi,

    is it intentional that
    echo foo >/dev/hda1
    doesn't update the mtime of the device node, but
    echo foo >/dev/tty10
    does update the mtime of the device node?

    And no, mounting with the noatime flag doesn't help because the
    mtime is updated. IIRC some time ago this behaviour was different,
    but I could easily be mistaken.

    Regards,
    Carl-Daniel
