separate them with a comma, no sapces and no -o or quotes.

noatime,logging

You need to specify them with a comma:

        -o noatime,logging
or in vfstab:
        noatime,logging

>Also, with noatime set, you still get modification times, right?

Yes.

The options are comma-separated, no spaces.

-o option1,option2

I use "bg,rw" when I am nfs mounting a drive. this is the last item in
/etc/vfstab.

Try "man mount_ufs", and read on from there

Errm, from mount_ufs(1m):

     -o Specify ufs file system specific options in a comma-
          separated list with no intervening spaces. If invalid

-----

From: Bruce R. Zimmer <bzimmer@all-phase.com>

Put a comma with no space between the options eg.

 noatime,logging
