Btw: Yes we need an accurate time to get correct mount time in the inodes of the mounted file systems. Beside this at mount time there is no ntp, no network to reach a ntp server, and AFAIK most systems out there do not have a radio clock on board. -- 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.
