If your squid box is only used for Squid then there are *probably* no
pitfalls to setting 'noatime'. If you have mission critical software
that depends on this access time info, then sure don't set it. However,
I read that setting noatime should speed up disk performance
significantly. I am not aware of any possiblities of filesystem
corruption and the likes by setting noatime if there are any, maybe
someone else can verify the safety of doing this.
