Correct for *startup*. And also change it to fix the clock as early as possible. For shutdown, it depends on what the kernel RTC drivers are doing nowadays, but I strongly suspect it is mandatory for every system not running ntp in kernel-sync mode. > change it the way Ubuntu have done it, to let udev call hwclock when > /dev/rtc become available, to make sure it isn't trying to run before > the device show up. Do it in the wrong way and you hose everything. For async calls to hwclock, you need to detect if ntp or anything else is running, and refuse to run if that happens. Also, you need to disable all adjtimex support if there is any chance of something else messing with the RTC before an hwclock hctosys. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
