However, it will do so only if dracut initramfs is build for the specific host (using --hostonly). Did you build it that way ? -- 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.

Also set the kernel's timezone value to the local timezone as indicated by the TZ environment variable and/or /usr/share/zoneinfo, as tzset(3) would interpret them. The obsolete tz_dsttime field of the kernel's timezone value is set to DST_NONE. (For details on what this field used to mean, see settimeofday(2).) .. why we should do this in initramfs ... simply do have all timestamps correct before the disks/partitions are checked and mounted. Does dracut do this *before* the root file system (and maybe /usr) is checked and mounted? -- 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 talking about
hwclock --systz
or my warpclock program in mkinitrd doing the same:
Ah, ok. So, no, this part isn't done.
... why we should do this in initramfs ... simply do have all timestamps correct before the disks/partitions are checked and mounted.
Does dracut do this *before* the root file system (and maybe /usr) is checked and mounted?
hwclock is being called before /dev is being created, so it should be safe to just add hwclock --systz call, when /etc/localtime is present in initramfs -- 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.
