I started looking further on this issue, and it looks like it has been fixed in util-linux by making /etc/localtime a file, and by making sure the timezone is set correctly at boot time. See these debian bug reports:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=343645 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=342887 In any case, it's not an e2fsprogs issue. Time should be set correctly when e2fsck runs, gosh darn it! ** Changed in: sysvinit (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- fsck should check against a timestamp "49710 days" old https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/43239 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
