Atime don't change in mounted drive

[dshman]

hi,
i have CentOS Stream 9.
when i mount a usb drive and create a file using touch command the Access time in stat command don't change and stays:
"Access: 2023-06-20 03:00:00.000000000 +0300"
it stays like this also when i use the command "cat file"

i try to mount with the following command:
mount -o strictatime,fmask=000 /dev/sdb1 /home/linux1/USB

this is the output of the mount command:
[root@localhost USB]# mount | grep "USB"
/dev/sdb1 on /home/linux1/USB type vfat (rw,fmask=0000,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro)

this is the output of stat command:
[root@localhost USB]# stat file

Probably the filesystem type. I am not sure that vfat supports atime.

[dshman]

it must be fat32 filesystem
its something in the mounting options, that the reason for the output of the mount command.
in non mounted drive i have atime...

Google seemed to be telling me that atime was not supported on vfat. I can't be bothered to go and read the code to find out.

[dshman]

Thank you,
i changed the filesystem of the drive to ext4. all is fine now
