Bug Description
Binary package hint: e2fsprogs
When you are East of UTC, and your hardware clock is in localtime not UTC, and you have to force power down, fsck fails on boot because the last write time is in the future.
This is caused by a bug in the ext3/4 filesystem code in kernel, where it updates the superblock last write time from the system clock after replaying the journal - but the system clock contains localtime not UTC since we haven't had an opportunity to correct it yet.
Ted Tso (ext3/4 upstream) is working on a fix to not write this time when the filesystem is read-only

I've seen this after what I *thought* was a normal / safe shutdown. I'll pay careful attention to future shutdowns and report if I can confirm.
