Package: udisks2 Version: 2.1.8-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** This may be a feature, or an issue with something higher up (e.g. Gnome) or lower down (e.g. mount), so please do point me elsewhere if that's appropriate. I have two very similar systems running jessie, but recently noticed that files written to VFAT removable media were an hour out between the two - i.e. a file written at 19:00 on one would show as 20:00 on the other (currently my timezone is GMT+1, BST). I eventually tracked this down to the fact that the desktop ran its hardware clock on local time (LOCAL in /etc/adjtime), while the laptop had been switched to hardware clock on UTC (UTC in /etc/adjtime). During the process of trying to work out why adjtime affects removable media, I found a number of claims on the Internet that Debian now insists on writing all VFAT removable media in UTC, because using local time must eventually result in insanity (or similar). My experience suggests that the time used on VFAT removable media is in fact the hardware clock time, which seems surprising: two jessie machines that display identical clock times will as a result stamp files on a memory card with different times according to whether they're running their hardware clock on LOCAL or UTC. That's a surprising point from which to control such a behaviour. Is this intentional? My search-fu isn't up to finding the point in the automount stack where this decision is made or documented.. *** End of the template - remove these template lines *** -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-8-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages udisks2 depends on: ii dbus 1.10.26-0+deb9u1 ii libacl1 2.2.52-3+b1 ii libatasmart4 0.19-4+b1 ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u3 ii libglib2.0-0 2.50.3-2 ii libgudev-1.0-0 230-3 ii libpam-systemd 232-25+deb9u4 ii libpolkit-agent-1-0 0.105-18 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.105-18 ii libsystemd0 232-25+deb9u4 ii libudisks2-0 2.1.8-1 ii parted 3.2-17 ii udev 232-25+deb9u4 Versions of packages udisks2 recommends: ii dosfstools 4.1-1 ii eject 2.1.5+deb1+cvs20081104-13.2 ii exfat-utils 1.2.5-2 ii gdisk 1.0.1-1 ii ntfs-3g 1:2016.2.22AR.1+dfsg-1 ii policykit-1 0.105-18 Versions of packages udisks2 suggests: pn btrfs-progs | btrfs-tools <none> ii cryptsetup-bin 2:1.7.3-4 ii mdadm 3.4-4+b1 pn reiserfsprogs <none> pn xfsprogs <none> -- no debconf information
