Bug#387861: initscripts: hwclockfirst.sh should run before checkroot.sh

2006-09-17 Thread Michel Lespinasse
Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-15
Severity: normal


I'm having some minor time issues at boot time on a small mipsel system.

I made the following observations about the system:

/etc/init.d/checkroot.sh has a small header indicating hwclockfirst 
should be started. However in /etc/rcS.d, S10checkroot.sh is before
S18hwclockfirst.sh. As a result the root filesystem is checked before
the clock is first adjusted.

Versions of packages initscripts depends on:
ii  debianutils  2.17Miscellaneous utilities specific t
ii  e2fsprogs1.39-1  ext2 file system utilities and lib
ii  libc62.3.6.ds1-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries
ii  lsb-base 3.1-15  Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip
ii  mount2.12r-10Tools for mounting and manipulatin

I should also indicate that hwclockfirst.sh is provided by the 
util-linux package which is currently at version 2.12r-10.

This is a recently installed system (used the etch beta3 installer).

Thanks,

Yes.  This is bug #342887 with util-linux.  I hope they are working on
fixing it.  The recent installations copies /etc/localtime instead of
making it a symlink, and thus it should be possible to run
hwclockfirst earlier in the boot.
