Package: util-linux
Version: 2.12r-19etch1
Severity: normal
File: /sbin/hwclock
Hello,
I have a system here with an rtc that knows when it's not set up
correctly and so
ioctl(fd, RTC_RD_TIME, &rtc_time);
returns -1, errno=EINVAL. The same holds for
ioctl(fd, RTC_UIE_ON, 0);
It's a pity that hwclock first tries to read the clock when running
hwclock --systohc --noadjfile --utc
and exits as this fails. I cannot see a reason to read first in that
case. Probably the call to synchronize_to_clock_tick() in
manipulate_clock should be skipped if ((set || systohc) && !noadjfile)
and
read_hardware_clock(...)
should be substituted by:
if (show || adjust || hctosys || !noadjfile)
read_hardware_clock(...)
else
hclock_valid = FALSE
Note that I didn't test if this change even compiles.
Best regards
Uwe
