Since you are seeing the fsck warning even after an extended downtime, I can think of two possibilities: 1. The superblock mod time is _really_ wrong (like in 2020), that is OS does something strange. You can check this by running "tune2fs -l" or dumpe2fs from a live environment, possibly disabling your timesync tool for this one experiment. 2. Something happens in between the two runs of fsck. I'd remove the fsck hook to let systemd check the filesystems and see if that helps. > If so, why didn't it cause the issue before the systemd update? > I don't know. > Regards, > Ralf > > Off-topic PS: > > Just an advice: replace this with a continuously tunning ntpd or at > > least with ntpd -q. > > Is this useful for a DAW?

Ok, the -q "ntpd will not daemonize and will exit after the > clock is first synchronized" seems to be something I could use. > I meant "running", not "tunning". Also, I can only suspect what you mean by DAW. Anyway, ntpd daemon can handle intermittent network access just fine... Unless you have an extremely CPU/memory-constrained system, you really should use the daemon IMHO because it offers continuous time synchronization, etc. -- Leonid Isaev GPG fingerprints: DA92 034D B4A8 EC51 7EA6 20DF 9291 EE8A 043C B8C4 C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D
