Public bug reported:
On Natty armel, the kernel option 'fixrtc' exists to set the system time from the last mount time from the rootfs. This allows systems which does not have a valid RTC time at startup to be able to boot of the root file system. When the 'fixrtc' option is used, the system time is set to the last mount time, regardless if the system time is already set to something valid. There should be a comparison between the current system time and the last mount time. The fixrtc should only come into play if the system time is less than the last mount time of the fs. ** Affects: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: armel natty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/947988 Title: fixrtc kernel option always sets system time To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/947988/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
