Description Thomas Jäger 2002-11-01 01:58:22 UTC

during the last daylight saving time changes i recognized that during each boot
process one hour was added to the local clock (hwclock and system time). i 
checked this and found following situation:


config: 
  rc.conf has set "local" CLOCK (hwclock = systemtime)
  my timezone:  CET = UTC/GMT + 1
  latest baselayout (1.8.4.1), no changes to the rc-scripts 
    clock v.1.7 has need localmount
    clock v.1.8 checkroot



during /etc/init.d/clock the hwclock will be set to systemtime, during this
  a output of "date" will result   ...time UTC ...

after /etc/init.d/localmount an output of "date" will result  ... time+1 CET ...
  (my /etc/localtime file (link) is on the root filesystem!)

when shutting down hwclock will be set to systemtime (so hwclock will now
  be set to time+1)

next reboot will again add one hour


i changed the clock init script and added localmount to the need parameters
with this change everything works fine

You know of course that checkroot mounts / ?

Comment 3 Thomas Jäger 2002-11-02 01:27:48 UTC

oh damned..

yes, i know that chechroot mounts /
but i have a seperate /usr partition 
   ... and there is /usr/share/zoneinfo/... stored

I am guessing you are using the evil /etc/localtime symlink ?

Can you try it with a unmodified clock from latest baselayout, after
doing:

 # zic -l Africa/Johannesburg

just with your timezone ?

Thanks.

Comment 5 Leonid Kabanov 2002-11-03 20:14:07 UTC

If / and /usr stored on diffrent volumes zic just do symlink, as it were 
before: 
 
# ls -l /etc/localtime 
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           36 2002-09-24 16:14 /etc/localtime -> 
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Krasnoyarsk 
# zic -l Asia/Krasnoyarsk 
"command line", line 1: warning: hard link failed, symbolic link used 
# ls -l /etc/localtime 
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           39 2002-11-04 08:53 /etc/localtime -> 
..//usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Krasnoyarsk 
 
So I still need localmount in baselayout
