</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i> As per discussions earlier, can you please push e2fsprogs.
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> Er there hasn't been much discussion!

</I>>>><i> It adds a default config to prevent fsck when system clock and hwclock

</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> What's more, from what I remember from reading the e2fsprogs many years ago,
</I>>><i> that was added only for ubuntu installer where date setting was wrong,
</I>>><i> resulting in a date differenence on booting the newly installed system
</I>>><i> and thus forcing a fsck.
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> This doesn't affect us since our installer forbid fsck based on too big
</I>>><i> elapsed time since last check.
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> What's more it cannot happen "when system clock and hwclock
</I>>><i> are out of sync" for the same reason.
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> As it doesn't fix any real bug, I suggests postponing this to mga3.

</I>><i> Well, it's does not directly related to a bug but it is in some way

</I>><i>
</I>><i> As I mentioned in my original mail, as the hwclock is not clobbered on
</I>><i> shutdown with whatever random value we have in the system clock, we need
</I>><i> to be more tolerant of errors in time offsets.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> If the user runs ntpd and doesn't drift too much then the RTC will be
</I>><i> sync'ed every 11 minutes by the kernel. If the drift is too high, or the
</I>><i> user does not run ntpd, then there will be no system clock to hwclock
</I>><i> sync as we simply don't have enough info to know we're correct.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> This patch will avoid any fallout from this.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> So I think it's likely still important to have in mga2.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Some more info:
