Dependencies: -The setclock script depends on /etc/sysconfig/clock, and possibly the udev system being loaded. Problem: We wish to address the issue of cleanfs not doing it's job, preferrably by checking against the mounting date of /proc. Resolution Suggestion: -I was taking a closer look at this issue, and I think moving it before mountkernfs would be an ideal time. I dont recall if setclock needed a devicenode or not, but I cant see any reason why we cant add a static devicenode for this. This is where we mount /proc, and that is what cleanfs decides to check against. Impact: - possible creation of a static devicenode. -- Nathan Coulson (conathan) ------ Location: Alberta, Canada Timezone: MST (-7) Webpage: http://www.nathancoulson.com -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
