There might still be some issue on yast not creating /etc/localtime as a symlink.. -- 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.

Replaced it with a symlink to /usr/share/zoneinfo/... and seems to be working for the main Host system. Result is no more of the original problem when invoking systemd-nspawn, just some unrelated permissions problem. But, believe the symlink implementation has its own bug, which seems to be widely reported on Fedora... During bootup, observed the following error just before booting into Plymouth... fast TSC calibration failed Seems to be a non-critical error of some sort, ironically the solution seems to be to configure localtime to point to a file instead of as a symlink...:) So, however this issue is to be addressed(or not, should this be addressed upstream or in openSUSE especially if the symbolic link method may be imperfect today?), the problem seems to have been definitely identified. -- 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.

Guys, could you make yast time&date module to create /etc/localtime as a symlink instead of a hard copy of the timezone file ? (or use timedated D-Bus api if you can to do the heavy lifting). -- 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.

Currently we have three patches around tzcode-link.diff, tzcode-symlink.patch, and tzcode-zic.diff ... Now with /usr part of the root file system or mounted within initrd below the root file system, the default should become a symbolic link. That is drop the copy code and make symbolic link to the default and NOT the hard link ... OK maybe timedatectl(1) is able to handle a hard link but I do not know this (guess: it does not).
