Package: e2fsprogs Version: 1.42.12-1 Severity: important Tags: upstream We discussed this previously in person, but unfortunately the proposed solution doesn't work.
The plan for jessie (yes I know it's late) is to mount and fsck the root and (if separate) /usr filesystems from initramfs code, before handing over to the real init system. e2fsck complains if the superblock write time is in the future, and because the RTC is set to local time on some systems, we are doing the necessary correction of system time in the initramfs. This is undesirable because changing the time zone may now require an initramfs rebuild. You said that this check could be disabled in a configuration file, e2fsck.conf, and we can create that in the initramfs. This works in so far as it suppresses warnings while the initramfs code is running. Unfortunately, every init system currently still checks the root file-system again. If the RTC is set to local time and that is east of UTC, the first fsck sets the write time in the future, and the second fsck warns. Please disable this warning by default.
