           Summary: Vfat filesystems don't respect timezone
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: linux
        AssignedTo: ben.collins at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: typo at netcabo.pt
         QAContact: kernel-bugs at lists.ubuntu.com


I have a backup of some files in an external VFAT disk that I synchonize
regularly using rsync. When the system time changed because of daylight savings
the timestamps of the ext3 filesystems changed but not the ones in the vfat
filesystem. This makes rsync think the files have changed and synchronize them.
There's no reason for filesystems not to store dates as UTC and then convert for
display.
