My boxes have always been set to local time, some run other SW. When I installed LFS-7.x, I started having problems with the clock being reset, constant corrections, and occasional complaints that the superblock had been written in the future! This is with UTC=0 in sysconfig/clock and /etc/localtine symlinked to PST8PDT.
I chose to comment-out running setclock in udev-retry, putting symlinks to run it explicitly and more obviously from sysinit after udev-retry, 0 & 6. No more problems now. I don't see the advantage of running it with udev, since the symlink sets the order and the delay is neglibile, a disadvantage of "hiding it", and the LFS bootscripts neglect to run it in 0 & 6. BTW, it's a minor untidyness, but the setclock script sources sysconfig/clock if it's readable. If not, $UTC will be null, a condition which is not allowed for in the following case. -- Paul Rogers [email protected] Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates."
