| |
Hello,
It seems that there's a bug in how kernel sets time values on directories when mounting virtual filesystems on them (at least /proc and /dev/pts). If local time is not GMT, it seems to add GMT offset to directory time. I.e. when localtime is GMT+N, then /proc gets localtime+N time (actually GMT+N*2), which leads to [acm]time in the future (the same happens with GMT-N).
Try running 'stat /proc' right after boot and you'll get the idea. Note that this is clearly /kernel/ issue (not glibc's or whatever), it happens right after virtual fs is mounted. Perhaps it affects virtual filesystems other than proc and devpts, but it doesn't affect shm filesystem.
I tried on 2.4.17 and 2.0.39, both versions behave the same, it seems that the bug is there for a long time :).
