$ rpm -qf /lib/udev/rules.d/88-clock.rules initscripts-8.86-1.x86_64 How would you write the rule to DTRT depending on how the kernel is configured? once we have a util-linux-ng in the tree that supports it, we can make this change. Until then, changing it sounds like a bad idea. (In reply to comment #3) > Until then, changing it sounds like a bad idea. Sure. I agree. I'll ping you :-) Dave, ping :-) The hwclock that supports CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS is already in rawhide (F-12). I must add in the discussion here that this feature is much wanted for kvm guests. The problem there is that the hypervisor will set guest's wall time, but hwclock will supersede this reading. The value should be the same, but the trip to the emulated cmos is a very lengthy one, and by the time all hwclock tricks are done, 1 or 2 seconds (some users even report 3) has passed. Much wanted feature for F12 virt. we changed this in rawhide a while ago. |
