Sankar P, to sum up Werner's post, the main reason CMOS clock should be kept in UCT is correct handling of daylight saving and other timezone changes (yes, that does happen sometimes).
I think the main problem is to run this kind of setup with separate /usr and I'm not sure if it is reasonable to support that - why do you want to have separate /usr in the first place?
This is done for optimizing. It is most common on very large systems, but it can be used for small systems with slow drives. This is typical for my systems: "/boot" (ext2) "/" (ext3 ordered) "/usr" (ext3 journaled) "swap" (swap) "/home" (ext3 ordered) /boot is almost never used after the system is booted, so it is located outside the normal travel of the head. This way it does not take up unnecessary time, and it is also at the safest place to avoid head crashes. "/" is "ordered" because it holds a lot of temporary files and such which are written often. "/usr" is "journaled" because for most users it will not be written often, but is subject to damage. "swap" is an interesting case. We can argue where to put it. If you expect to use it often, then it should go somewhere in the middle. "/home" is "ordered" again because it tends to be written to a lot. Some people will argue about these assignments (which should be "ordered" vs "journaled"). But that is the point. There are choice to be made which affect the usage of the system. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
