[Bug 422869] Re: fsck halts bootup when checked file has timestamp in the future from other Ubuntu installation

2009-09-16 Thread Cristian Gafton
I am also getting this on my karmic upgrade from jaunty. I am running with UTC=yes in my rcS. The problem in my case seems to arise from the fact that the init scripts do not restore the system clock from the hardware clock before launching into fsck. I had to put the following into my

When the hardware clock is stored in UTC, the issue is of particular visibility to those living in GMT-hh timezones and whose system clocks go back in time on every boot until they're re-adjusted from the hardware clock. -- fsck halts bootup when checked file has timestamp in the future from

This issue has definitely been fixed. If you are still seeing issues with the hardware or system clock, you do not have *this* bug. You should file a new bug, so we can triage your problems independently Thanks ** Changed in: clock-setup (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Fix Released -- fsck

Right, this looks like a karmic installer bug ;) I guess so: I've made a fresh install from karmic alpha 5 amd64 on a computer, and almost each time I boot I get the timestamp in the future error. I'm not dual booting with anything. -- fsck halts bootup when checked file has timestamp in the

I received my laptop with a windows installation on its first hard disk. I installed Jaunty on the second disk and never booted into Windows on the first, so I guess it was dual boot of sorts (albeit entirely different disks/filesystems) When I later installed Karmic I wiped the Windows disk to

Thanks. That's a clear configuration issue. You're dual-booting between two systems that are storing different values in the hardware clock, and expecting to find different values there. It's no different to having UTC=yes and dual booting between Linux and Windows, the hardware clock will go

At a guess, your Jaunty and Karmic installations disagree about whether the hardware clock should be to tick localtime or UTC time, and one of the things the shutdown scripts do is to set the hardware clock from the system clock. This causes the time at boot up to be incorrect until NTP has a

I acknowledge that, however I don't think it's a reasonable assumption for e2fsprogs to assume the system booting has the correct time in that way -- failing to bootup and dumping the user to a recovery terminal from the automatic check is probably the worst thing to do here. -- fsck halts

There's an easy fix Put the following in /etc/e2fsck.conf [options] buggy_init_scripts = 1 This used to be the default for Ubuntu systems, partially because Ubuntu's init scripts *were* buggy, way back when, but partially also because Ubuntu users don't seem to care about making
