[Bug 1227520] Re: Timezone changes are not working due to ro /etc and bind mounts

[Iain Lane]

Yeah, AFAIK it gets copied according to the transition flag the first
time it shows up. Quote from IRC:

24/09 15:42:51 <stgraber> so any file (or directory) listed in writable-
paths will be copied to /userdata and bind-mounted on first boot, if the
content changes in the rootfs after that, you won't see it until you do
a factory reset (which will trigger another copy from the rootfs to
/userdata)

Not sure what you mean by /etc/writable/zoneinfo though - a typo?

I think you need to care for /etc/timezone and maybe also /etc/adjtime
too.

And the code changes required in timedated too, of course.
