Hello,

Solaris 7 have a new mount-option to disable atime modifications for a
filesystem. The original application was for usenet (news) filesystem.
The other way is to use ufsdump to backup the filesystem and then adsm it.
ufsdump has knowledge about the filesystem itself and bypass the kernel
to read the filesystem on the disks.
