Control: severity -1 normal Stefan Fritsch [2015-01-31 10:19 +0100]: > severity 755722 serious > retitle 755722 systemd must sync systemclock to RTC on shutdown
This is severity inflation according to https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#severities ; adjusting back to original severity. I also disagree with the retitling, FTR. > Systemd must make sure that the system clock does not go backwards, > which causes all kinds of problems, with file systems and with other > software. To achieve that, systemd has to sync the system time to > RTC on shutdown. I disagree. As the discussion showed, it is in no way clear why the system time should be more accurate than the hardware clock; on most hardware it will be the other way around. IMHO the only proper time to write the hardware clock is when we know the system time is correct, i. e. after an NTP sync or when the user sets it manually.
