Files in /dev dir has inccorect modify time. They were created without using timezone. For example, i'm starting OS at 10:09 (localtime, in UTC it's 12:09) and time of files looks like this: # ls --full-time /dev/zero crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 5 2009-10-23 12:09:51.076006747 +0200 /dev/zero # date pią, 23 paź 2009, 10:31:03 CEST Reproducible: Always
Bios time is correct, it is in local time.
Ech, one more thing, i'm not sure it's bug is more related to udev or to openrc.
This is a system clock issue. Up to date kernels have a rtc driver and read system time at startup. They interprete the read time in UTC. What you want is that openrc does fixup system time or read hwclock before udev starts.
Problem is a little peculiar for me, i've got a second machine with similar configuration, and version of openrc/udev (ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86") but problem appear only at once machine. Still i don't know which difference between them is meanignful.
Is /etc/localtime is a symlink and /usr is not on /?
(In reply to comment #5) > Is /etc/localtime is a symlink and /usr is not on /? It would be too simple. /etc/localtime isn't symlink, it's regular file. I tried to reproduce this problem on 3 box. On the two of them problem appears (~amd64 and ~x86), but third box (~x86) behaves correctly.
So the basic problem here is: The files have timestamps in the future. Does it work if you do 1. Add clock to the need lines in /etc/init.d/udev. 2. Add depend() { need clock } to /etc/init.d/udev-mount. 3. Add hwclock to runlevel sysinit. rc-update add hwclock sysinit

Now i'm getting: * /mounting/proc... hwclock |* SEtting system clock using hardware clock [Local] hwclock |RTC_RD_TIME: Niewlasciwy ioctl dla urzadzenia (in english: RTC_RD_TIME: Incorrect ioctl for device) hwclock |ioctl() to /dev/rtc to read the time failed. hwclock |* Failed to set the system clock ====================== # LC_ALL="en-US" ls -lah /dev/rtc* ls: cannot access /dev/rtc*: No such file or directory # mount --bind / /mnt/test/ # LC_ALL="en-US" ls -lah /mnt/test/dev/rtc* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Aug 4 14:17 /mnt/test/dev/rtc -> rtc0 crw-r--r-- 1 root root 254, 0 Aug 4 14:17 /mnt/test/dev/rtc0
do you have the rtc drivers built into your kernel ?
# zgrep -i rtc /proc/config.gz |grep -v "^#" CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC=y CONFIG_RTC_LIB=m CONFIG_RTC_CLASS=m CONFIG_RTC_INTF_SYSFS=y CONFIG_RTC_INTF_PROC=y CONFIG_RTC_INTF_DEV=y CONFIG_RTC_DRV_CMOS=m # lsmod | grep -i rtc rtc_cmos 9367 0 rtc_core 14801 1 rtc_cmos rtc_lib 2320 1 rtc_core
hmm, udev's init script deps on fsck's init script which again pulls in clock before is this any of problem with >=sys-fs/udev-197-r3 and the new sys-fs/udev-init-scripts?
Now I have installed sys-fs/udev-197-r5 and sys-fs/udev-init-scripts-22, files in /dev/* has correct time.
(In reply to comment #13) > Now I have installed sys-fs/udev-197-r5 and sys-fs/udev-init-scripts-22, > files in /dev/* has correct time. no reason to keep this open then, thanks for checking
honestly, i'm not sure why this ever mattered. nothing cares about those timestamps.
