Daylight Saving Time change ?

[nia]

Just curious, if MHVTL is affected by Daylight Saving Time change ? meaning if it was active running during time changing for DST ? any of the built-in timers may freak out or should they not .. I guess I can test tomorrow 2:00 AM Sunday, November 6, 2011.

There is nothing with vtl code that depends on system time.

There are some timers in the kernel module based on jiffies.

Besides, Australia went thru the daylight switch about 3 weeks ago. No problems noticed.

However, I was not performing backups during the actual change-over. But mhvtl was running thru it all.

Cheers

Thanks Mark. I will run a backup during DST change tomorrow just to confirm.
