[Bug 563618] Re: there is no way to tell fsck to ignore broken clocks on embedded systems

[Scott James Remnant]

Having chatted to ogra, we think that broken_system_clock and that
config snippet are both working fine.

The problem is that this results in a "fix" to the root filesystem, and
that in turn results in the requirement that we reboot (the mounted root
fs has changed!)

And rebooting clears the hardware clock again, so we do it all over
again in a loop.


There isn't a fix for this :-(
