"systemd, libsystemd and systemd-sysvcompat 213-6 from testing only solve the fstab issue, but they don't solve the superblock issue." - https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/40706 I never run into trouble before, because I use the local time when using Linux and FreeBSD, while I'm using Linux for around 11 years each day now. I chose local time because I want the correct time, when I use the BIOS, e.g. to backup BIOS settings, it's not related to a Windows install. I suspect it's just the evil policy of those systemd folks, who want to teach everybody to follow there ways, as the only right ways. IMO there's no valid reason not to chose local time.
