Package: e2fsprogs
Version: 1.42.12-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

We discussed this previously in person, but unfortunately the proposed
solution doesn't work.

The plan for jessie (yes I know it's late) is to mount and fsck the
root and (if separate) /usr filesystems from initramfs code, before
handing over to the real init system.

e2fsck complains if the superblock write time is in the future, and
because the RTC is set to local time on some systems, we are doing the
necessary correction of system time in the initramfs.  This is
undesirable because changing the time zone may now require an
initramfs rebuild.

You said that this check could be disabled in a configuration file,
e2fsck.conf, and we can create that in the initramfs.  This works in
so far as it suppresses warnings while the initramfs code is running.
Unfortunately, every init system currently still checks the root
file-system again.  If the RTC is set to local time and that is east
of UTC, the first fsck sets the write time in the future, and the
second fsck warns.

Please disable this warning by default.

Ben.
