Bug 233307 – gentoo-sources-2.6.26: new kernel patch to add tz=UTC fat mount option

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Joe Peterson (RETIRED) 2008-07-29 18:41:59 UTC]

Here is a kernel patch I did that has recently been merged into the upstream
kernel.  It adds a new mount option for using UTC timestamps in fat
filesystems.  I'll also forward the doc file patch that explains the
option.  I informed util-linux-ng upstream, and they have modified the
mount man page as well.

This applies to 2.6.25 or 2.6.26, and it should appear in mainline upstream
version 2.6.27.

This was mm-kernel patch:
    "fatfs: add UTC timestamp option"
