Question How to make ext2 fsck time tolerant at boot ?

Hi !

I use Slackware.
When i have a root filesystem on a USB or SD card, if the hardware time is in the past it asks for a Control + D, then an long useless fsck and a reboot.
How to fix that ?

The obvious thing would be to not set the hardware time in the past, I would think.

^^ of course, but some devices have no batteries, then lose time when unplugged.
So it's a pain to restart.

perhaps you could run a script before fsck that sets time to future.
