Last mount time is in the future 0_0

Hi, I changed the time inside the terminal and set it to the correct time. So now, I have to load everything manually, and bypass the read only mount /. Could someone help me?

Re: Last mount time is in the future 0_0

I had the same thing, after new install you can't boot because the time is in the future from the last mount.
I had to adjust the hwclock in order to fix this:
hwclock --set --date="9/29/09 10:05:05"

Adjust your time/date accordingly...

I really hope they fix this bug soon.

That didn't work, and this isn't a fresh install. I have had this install for a while. I did what you said, and rebooted nothing changed sad. It seemed to work at first, because 'hwclock' displayed the right time and date, but still the error occurs.

Okay, I got it. Since I use root most of the time (I know this is bad), I was able to unmount sda4 which controlled the home folder. I am fine for now. And everything works, so everything is a-okay!

It's not only security issues you will get as "usual root" user. Some applications were written with non-root use in mind. Thus you will every now and then see problems others won't.

If you are not really forced to always work as root (and I could not think of such a cause, even as sysadmin) please do you and us a favour: Set up an own user for your everyday work (and use it). It is sometimes really difficult to provide help, you know .. tongue

@op - do this and paste in the results

$ cat /etc/rc.conf | grep K=

If it isn't HARDWARECLOCK="localtime", that might be your problem smile

Like VLC player? I compiled it from source with run as root arguments.

You can probably work around it - but why waste the time? There's no advantage to running as root every day. (Is there?)
