cmos clock broken fsck

Hi. My cmos clock is not working. I am sure that it is not working. At the boot i come with an error that says: last mount is on the future or something like that. In order to skip this i have to access bios every time and change the clock date. What else can i do to skip this fsck? i can't replace the clock

Log in with your root account and do

mount -o remount /

I get this error from time to time and remounting so that the mount time gets set correctly fixes it.

Maybe you should replace the battery that helps keep your bios settings and the time. If this happens a lot the most probable cause is a dead battery (the flat, round and shinny thing that should be somewhere inside your pc , check the board manual you can find it easily)

Re: cmos clock broken fsck

Try add in /etc/e2fsck.conf

[options]
buggy_init_scripts = true

Read about this option in man e2fsck.conf
