Subject: hwclockfirst should run before checkroot in rcS.d

Package: sysv-rc
Version: 2.86.ds1-6

A comment at the beginning of /etc/init.d/checkroot.sh says that
hwclockfirst should be started beforehand, however that is not the order
in /etc/rcS.d.

In /etc/rcS.d, checkroot is S10 whereas hwclockfirst is S22. This
numbering means that the root file system is checked before the hardware
clock is read.

On my system, the incorrect order causes fsck to warn that the superblock
has a modification date that is in the future. Various attempts at fixing
the fsck warning failed until I discovered that changing hwclockfirst to
S08 (or anything less than S10) eliminates the warning.

Please correct your package so that /etc/rcS.d/S22hwclockfirst.sh is
renamed S08checkroot.sh. Thanks.

Last line of my email should have read:

Please correct your package so that /etc/rcS.d/S22hwclockfirst.sh is
renamed S08hwclockfirst.sh. Thanks.

reassign 344818 util-linux

Yes, it would be good if util-linux's initscripts set the hardware clock
before S10checkroot.sh.

We're seeing this problem with certian ADS bitsyxb hardware that doesn't ha=
ve
a valid time until hwclock is run. Possible results range from fsck never
running even after the max interval between checks has been reached, to it
running at every single boot.

We've avoided this problem by adding a link to call hwclockfirst.sh
before the fsck.
