Description of problem: From the ssytemd 216 announcement: * timer units with at least one OnCalendar= setting will now be started only after timer-sync.target has been reached. This way they will not elapse before the system clock has been corrected by a local NTP client or similar. This is particular useful on RTC-less embedded machines, that come up with an invalid system clock. Several of my existing systems have very unstable local clocks. I believe this fix would help keep my timer based units executing as I expect. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):systemd-208-11.el7_0.2 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.Find a system with a dead CMOS battery, boot it with several timer units using OnCalendar 2. 3. Actual results: Strange, and somewhat unknown behavior Expected results: timer based units wait until after time sync successful Additional info:
