[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#543375: initscripts: "last superblock write time in future" occurring sometimes

[Norbert Preining]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.87dsf-2
Severity: important

Dear maintainers,

I am not sure whom this bug belongs, please reassign accordingly.

Since some time (probably update of initscripts that pulled in insserv,
but hard to say) it happens sometimes that at booting time I see:
	...
	checking filesystems
	... sda3 ... Last superblock write time in future
	...
	Inconsistencies found, please check manually
(copied from by memory, but I guess you know what it is). The point is
that it seems that the "last superblock write time" is in local time
which in my case is CEST (GMT+2), and the check time of fsck is in GMT,
that gives 2 hours difference.

Now, I don't remember ever having seen this problem, so I assume that it
surfaced with the new uploads.

This is quite a pain since everytime it happens a full check has to be
done, which takes ages.


Thanks for any insightfull remarks and fixes

Norbert
