Booted ~8 year old Dell (BIOS) PC to Grub menu prior to 2AM.
Local time reverted to 1AM at 2AM before I proceeded with a Grub selection.
Selected 42.3 in Grub and proceeded to boot.
Logged in only after more than an hour passed, after 3AM local standard time.
Checked to see time correct.
Rebooted to get an extra SATA HD online on the main ICH8 bus.
During init, all (EXTx) partitions mounted on the previous boot required e2fsck, significantly delaying opportunity to login. :-(
I don't see a relation to a DST bug until now. Do you usually boot this PC only for DST switch checking?
No, but I am a bit of an experimenter as opportunity presents, and was a bit bored waiting to update various clocks after the second 2AM. This multiboot (22 OS bootable on it) PC is one of my part timers, but has spent a lot of time up lately attributable to issues discussed here and on the [opensuse] list. On the 5655815 1K-block EXT4 / filesystem most booted to recently, mount count is 62, maximum mount count -1, and lifetime writes are 17 GB. Last checked is inexplicably reported as identical to its filesystem create time.
More important: what are the the tune2fs settings
I'm in the habit of following up mkfs.extN with 'tune2fs -c0 -i0', as most filesystems experiences a considerably above average power cycle to uptime ratio.
... or better what was the output before the reboot?
Output of what exactly?
Maybe this was just a coincident with the 2nd reboot after the DST switch that the max number of mounts of the file systems has been reached. I admit it's probably impossible to tell now, but it would allow for a maintainer to replay the scenario. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Whatever else you get, get wisdom."
