hwclock --notickwait for faster boot

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hallo!

Recently people have been trying to trim boot times, and the one-second
delay in hwclock to read or write the CMOS clock is much more noticable
in a 15 second boot than in a 60 second boot.

Many machines will have NTP configured and could do without the extra
accuracy that the synchronize_to_clock_tick() gives.

A patch
	http://chezphil.org/tmp/hwclock-add-notickwait.patch
was given in
	http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/620

which adds an option --notickwait to hwclock, to skip this synchronisation.

Are there any plans to integrate this patch in hwclock?

Regards,

Frank Kingswood
