Disable hwclock-save.service on Jessie
systemd (215-13)’s debian/changelog
entry says:
* Add hwclock-save.service to sync the system clock to the hardware clock on
shutdown, to provide monotonic time for reboots. (Note: this is a hack for
jessie; the next Debian release will enable timesyncd by default).
(Closes: #755722)
We need to disable that, as per our design goal to avoid leaving traces on the hardware being used, as much as possible.
For more information, see https://bugs.debian.org/755722. (And
interestingly, there we learn that under sysvinit (Wheezy),
util-linux
’s hwclock.sh
is supposed to “overwrite the RTC with the
system clock partway through the shutdown”, so that’s not exactly a
regression against Tails/Wheezy, but rather a problem we already had.
Will file a dedicated ticket about it.)
