Hi,
In the kernel config I set
CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS_DEVICE="rtc1"
and I grepped through /etc and looked
for something suspicious...nothing found.
So...which ghost in my system dares to set
the symlink /dev/rtc to point to /dev/rtc0
instead of /dev/rtc1 ???
Any ides?
Best regards,
mcc

You say there's a ghost in the machine, and the instant answer "udev"
did not immediately jump into your mind?
tut, tut (such an obvious target) :-)
grep through every file installed by udev for "rtc", let's see what
comes out

I bet it's /usr/lib64/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules

I have /usr/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules (on a 64-bit system),
which contains the lines :
# select "system RTC" or just use the first one
SUBSYSTEM=="rtc", ATTR{hctosys}=="1", SYMLINK+="rtc"
SUBSYSTEM=="rtc", KERNEL=="rtc0", SYMLINK+="rtc", OPTIONS+="link_priority=-100"
However, in /dev I have :
crw------- 1 root root 10, 135 Aug 25 07:39 /dev/rtc
ie it's not a symlink. I'm using udev-204 .

Hi,
I finally found the culprit:
There udev-related files under /lib, where I did not search for it.
I had expected them under /etc...
I fixed one of the rules and now there is the correct link.
Nonetheless, ls -l /proc shows:
beagleboneblack:/root>ls -l /proc
total 0

There are still files stamped with the UNIX's big bang moment.
But the kernel is configured to use rtc1 instead of rtc0.
The journey isn't at its end, still.
ANy further ideas ?

Does it make a difference ...? While I can see an advantage for files
that need the correct date to have them, in my experience that for most
files its irrelevant including those in /dev. The Rpi doest care (and
its interesting to see what files the Rpi is actually using as they
update :) - I just use ntp to set the system time and dont seem to have
any problems - so what problem do the older files actually cause?
You could use a "find" command identify then "touch" the files and
update their timestamp once the system is up/before whatever is critical
starts.

Does it really matter ?
Those files with Epoch timestamps are PIDs started very early. They are
probably kernel threads exposed as PIDs anyway, and there's serious
magic going on to make that all work. It all happens after init starts
but before your rtc gets set and ntp starts.
You seem to have accomplished the bits that matter and are now chasing
after other bits that don't. I say it's time to stop and say it's good
enough
Consider this: that cpu has an rtc on-board, it has no battery. Every OS
in existence is going to have the same issue in some form or other, and
yet it doesn't seem to matter as stuff works.

That's where udev's own rules live.

For now. Copy the rule to /etc/ if you don't want it overwritten by the
next udev update.
