  I wouldn't say so.  Since relatime updates atime only relative to the
present ctime and mtime, it's only changed when one of those two is
changed.  That is, updating atime does not require a separate write
operation.  For this reason:

if that filesystem was mounted with the relatime option (or with no
option at all, since relatime is the default), then it's very unlikely
it caused any more writes that if it was fully disabled.

  Uh?  How can atime "ruin snapshots"?

  If only it was any nasty.
