I've been seeing the following error/warning message on my console
lately and am wondering what it relates to, if it is serious, and how
to get rid of it:
dos2unixtime(): month value out of range (0)
The message is repeated five times on the console.
In /var/log/messages I see:
Nov 23 03:31:57 /kernel: dos2unixtime(): month value out of range (0)
Nov 16 03:32:00 /kernel: dos2unixtime(): month value out of range (0)
Oct 26 03:32:10 /kernel: dos2unixtime(): month value out of range (0)
Oct 26 17:52:42 /kernel: dos2unixtime(): month value out of range (0)
Oct 26 17:57:42 /kernel: dos2unixtime(): month value out of range (0)
Oct 26 18:26:29 /kernel: dos2unixtime(): month value out of range (0)
Oct 23 08:25:34 /kernel: dos2unixtime(): month value out of range (0)
Oct 23 19:16:08 /kernel: dos2unixtime(): month value out of range (0)
Oct 19 03:32:08 /kernel: dos2unixtime(): month value out of range (0)
My system is: FreeBSD 2.1.5R, 486DX2-80 (Cyrix), 40MB RAM, two IDE
drives (one 340MB the other 1.6GB) with 2 msdos partitions mounted (one
150MB, the other 520MB). I run with wall_cmos_clock. Does this
message relate to the change from daylight savings time to standard
time?
The system clock is correct (with the wall clock). I'm also running
XFree86 v3.1.2 and fvwm2-95. When FreeBSD 2.1.5 came out, I upgraded
from 2.0R. I did not see this dos2unixtime() message at all with 2.0R,
nor for at least the first month of operation of 2.1.5R. It looks like
it is being generated by msdosfs/msdosfs_conv.c but beyond that I have
no clue as to what is causing this message and how to stop it.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
