Hi, today I installed 2005.1 with ~AMD64. When I symlink /etc/localtime to a timezone and reboot my system some folders / files show a diffrent modification date (no time ist shown - but the year). The system than gives me lots of warnings that the time is in the future, ... . Only UTC works very well. But I want Europe/Berlin. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install 2005.1, ~AMD64 2. Change /etc/localtime to something diffrent from UTC 3. Reboot system Actual Results: Some folders / files shown wrong timeformat / time (after reboot) Expected Results: Show all times correct.
So set your BIOS time to UTC.
This isn't a solution. I can change BIOS-Clock to UTC or local - nothing changes on this behaviour. Everytime I have a timezone diffrent from UTC choosen and reboot the system - some files / folders shows a diffrent timestring and I get warnings (time in future).
Sure, if you have screwed timestamps, you'll have fix them manually or wait until they are not in future. Your system time is set up incorrectly, this is not a bug.
Example: ls -a ... drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 11. Okt 15:20 home drwxr-xr-x 43 root root 4096 11. Okt 2005 etc ... This happens when I choose a timezone diffrent to UTC and reboot the system. When I set /etc/localtime to UTC again and reboot all is shown correctly (like example "home").
I can recursivly "touch" all files / folders to get the correct time shown - but after a reboot all changes are gone. I think it
I can recursivly "touch" all files / folders to get the correct time shown - but after a reboot all changes are gone. I think it´s a bug. When I do a "ls -al --time-style=full-iso" all is shown correctly - but a simple "ls -al" shows the output like in my posted example. Some processes (bootscripts, make, ... tell me that the modification time is in the future. Only UTC works.

I just had the same thing happen after an update to baselayout-1.12.0_pre9 (2005.1 ~amd64). The next reboot I got a bunch of "time in the future warning" from /etc/init.d/depscan.sh. None of the files were touched or modified (except the obvious updates through the new baselayout). My system time is kept up to date against internet time servers through an ipup.local script (verified to work correctly) and the hwclock is also fine. I however do not see the strange date output, and the problem didn't appear during the next reboot (the depcache in /var/lib/init.d obviously was rebuilt correctly). My timezone happens to be CEST also, clock set to localtime. I have set globally set LC_ALL to "en_US.UTF-8", interestingly 'date' uses 24h mode while 'hwclock' uses 12h AM/PM mode in its output.
I have tried to install 2005.1, ~x86 instead of ~AMD64. There is the same problem.
do you setup /etc/conf.d/clock ?
yes, I tried UTC and local setting - but nothing changs this mysterious behaviour. Now I
yes, I tried UTC and local setting - but nothing changs this mysterious behaviour. Now I´m triing to instal AMD64 (stable).
did you also try changing the CLOCK_SYSTOHC setting ?
no, this setting i didn't change. My previous Gentoo-installation wordked well without. The behaviour only happens when I set /etc/localtime so a zoneinfo diffrent to UTC.
The result with an AMD64 (not ~AMD64) is the same.
Now only the directories proc and sys show the wrong date-string. I think it
Now only the directories proc and sys show the wrong date-string. I think it´s because clock is set after creating / mounting the directories. Anybody an advice?
sounds about right
