[Bug 677411] New: systemd doesn't handle bios clock in localtime
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=677411 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=677411#c0 Summary: systemd doesn't handle bios clock in localtime Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Factory Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: fcrozat@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- systemd doesn't read /etc/sysconfig/clock and therefore doesn't restore system clock correcty at startup when system is configured to use local time for bios clock (I know it is not a good idea to use bios clock in localtime). This can force fsck because unmount time can appear to be in the future. -- 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.

At bootup we run: hwclock --systz details are in: /lib/systemd/system/hwclock-load.service which should do the trick. Anyway, running the BIOS in the local timezone just asks for trouble, as the kernel itself reads the rtc time and sets the system clock at bootup. Non-ancient Windows versions support UTC BIOS clocks just fine. That would be the right fix. -- 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.

I'm starting to wonder if hwclock isn't buggy.. see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=672194 -- 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.

That's also read by hwclock. -- 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.

Systemd now applied the local timezone from /etc/locatime if /etc/adjtime contains LOCAL in the third line. hwclock(8) is never called on a systemd bootup. We don't touch the RTC at all by default. Only if NTP runs, it will be synced.
