Another approach would be to use a u-boot environment variable to save and restore the (approximate) time. The advantage is that it could be done before fscking any filesystems, at the cost of some additional wear on the flash.
No matter where you store the time, when restoring it you could also look for the newest mtime of files in /var, to get a better estimate in the case where the system crashed before saving a recent time value. -- Eric Cooper e c c @ c m u . e d u -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
