Beagleboard has no RTC backup battery. Though one can be soldered on, most devices won't have any. So we need fsck to skip the time check. ** Changed in: util-linux (Ubuntu Lucid) Status: New = Confirmed ** Changed in: mountall (Ubuntu Lucid) Status: New = Confirmed -- there is

fwiw, here's the e2fsck code for broken_system_clock, so it really should be directly equivalent! if ((code == PR_0_FUTURE_SB_LAST_MOUNT) || (code == PR_0_FUTURE_SB_LAST_WRITE)) { profile_get_boolean(ctx-profile, options,

Having chatted to ogra, we think that broken_system_clock and that config snippet are both working fine. The problem is that this results in a fix to the root filesystem, and that in turn results in the requirement that we reboot (the mounted root fs has changed!) And rebooting clears the
