Daylight saving and file system errors (!)

new2arch · 2009-10-26 18:42:27

Hi all,

I wonder if anyone else has experienced "file system error" warnings upon a reboot after having changed the daylight saving?
With a forced fsck on all partitions?
The "problem" found according to Ext3 was inconsistency in time (minus 1 hour).
I didn't write down the error message, sorry, but I was also given an option to manually fix the problem or let the system take care of it (Ctrl + D),
I chose the latter. Upon reboot, all my partitions were checked and fixed.

The daylight savings were altered in BIOS by the way.

Never had this problem before. Anyone knows how to avoid this in the future?
The only thing I can think of that may be related to this is that I've added 'barrier=1' in my fstab.

Thanks.

I've had something like this happen to me twice recently. I can't remember what the errors said exactly, but it wanted me to mount the partitions manually (which I did). They weren't hard to fix or anything but I'm not sure how they happened exactly. Mine wasn't off an hour, it was off five hours which had to be related somehow to the fact that I'm in the EST time zone which is -5 UTC.
I didn't thing too much of it. I've just blamed it on my wife and here Windows XP partition .

Edit:
Thanks MindTooth, that's exactly what happened to me .

Ah. Thanks for the link. So it is a e2fsprogs bug?

NTP syncs time here, so it also sets DST. I have never had anything like that happen (nor do I change anything in the BIOS).

Good for u. ^^

What's the difference between a manual check and a system forced fsck check?
