Glad to see that you agree with me. :-) > To avoid them starting at the same time, one could let hwclockfirst > have 'X-Start-Before: hwclock' to make sure the two scripts run in > sequence, but that would just be a workaround.

AFAICS, there are the following problems: 1) The time needs to be set before checking the root filesystem to avoid problems with timestamps in the future when the system runs on localtime (UTC=no). See #343662, #343645 and #443487. 2) The init script wants to write /etc/adjtime (if it does not exist) and thus should be run after checkroot. The first issue seems to be real, but the second may be not. In fact, it is probably desirable to move adjtime out of /etc to allow for mounting / read-only. See #156489 and #520606 for problems with the current script. Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
