I don't understand this. If vfat keeps local time, then that local time should be used as local time. The user knows that it is local time. For example if vfat localtime indicates 2012-07-15 16:31:00 it should be translated and implemented as 2012-07-15 16:31:00 in linux, independently from time zone and daylight saving time. And I, the user know if I look at the file's timestamp, that the given picture was taken in Japan last summer, and the timestamp indicates Japanase summer local time. And that is what I need. The computer does not have to know which local time it is and it doe not not have to change it.
It does not work like that. Linux does not store local times on its filesystems, but the equivalent of UTC. I probably does a double translation in this case. From localtime to internal time, then back to local time for display. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
