So, _you_ set the bios to martian time, then _you_ tell the system to mind that the bios has martian time. Only make sure that it is correct.
Capishi? :-)
Ok. I see what you're saying, but there seemed to be some implication that I could resolve my getting a time error message and a full fsck by changing the BIOS clock to UTC.
Possibly.
I still don't understand that. The problem was resolved by my simply changing the SUSE time to be UTC based instead of local based (I never adjusted the hardware clock).
No, but your linux will do that for you behind your back :-p I know, I can tell you the exact script that does it. Believe me, it is changed.
And I still don't understand how that was affecting fsck.
I haven't given it much thought, but it is possible.
I mean, if it's using the same clock from one boot up to the next, why would it think the time found in the file system was in the future every time? But that change did fix the problem, so, whatever works as they say.
Possibly, the time reference used while writing that node was different from the one used while checking it. I haven't had that problem myself and I haven't studied it. But if the chain of things is such that the clock is back for some hours when the check runs, it will think that what is written there was written in the future, which is impossible. A misconfiguration somewhere, a disagreement. Does it work now? Then forget it :-) === Now, do you see the lines below? === === Remove them, right to the bottom! ;-) ===
PS Please learn to quote only the necessary parts of previous messages. They are much easier to read.
¡¡¡YES, PLEASE!!!
¡Remove unneeded text from emails!
