Hi all,

we've been experimenting with switching from our nfs-based statelite deployment 
to a ramdisk based one, and at first glance, everything seemed easy and 
straightforward.

We're using xcat 2.14.2 deploying centos 7.6

After a while though, I noticed that our ramdisk machines were out of sync with 
the nfs disk machines - specifically they were not picking up the timezone 
information.  A little further digging revealed that 27 directories in 
/usr/share (including zoneinfo), so the ones running nfs are showing BST while 
the ramdisk ones are showing UTC.   Also including in the missing directories 
list are a bunch of gnome directories and a few others.   I double-checked and 
the directories exist in the image directory.   I unzipped rootimg-statelite.gz 
and ran
cpio -t < rootimg-statelite | grep share/zoneinfo | more

Sure enough - no zoneinfo .  So I reran liteimg.  Then did the same check on it 
again.  Still no zoneinfo.

It feels like I might be missing something obvious, but I'm not sure what ... 
any pointers would be very much appreciated,
