Re: [eclipse-dev] Problems with Daylight Savings Time

Most Users should convert from FAT to
NTFS. The big exception would be if you need to access the partition from
another OS like Linux.

Windows provides a convert utility that
will migrate any partition to the new file system. For the system partition,
you must reboot and allow the conversion to take place before windows is
loaded.

Subject	[eclipse-dev] Problems with Daylight Savings Time

There is a problem with daylight savings time which users may experience.
These issues are outlined below.

Who will be affected:
=================
Users who run with their workspaces living on FAT file systems and have
their system clocks automatically adjusted for daylight savings time.

Problem:
========
Both Core and CVS use the timestamps of the files on disk to represent
the
synchronization information (both local and remote) for resources in the
workspace. As a result, some users will see strange behaviour after their
local systems have adjusted their clocks for daylight savings time.

Symptoms:
==========
1). All resources in the workspace will appear to be out of sync with the
local file system.
2). When synchronizing with the CVS repository, all resources in the
workspace will look like they contain outgoing changes. (a structure
compare reveals that they haven't really changed)

Resolution:
==========
Work-around for problem #1:
- Users must perform a "Refresh from Local" on all of their projects
in
their workspace.

Work-around for problem #2:
- Perform a Team>Synchronize on all affected projects
- In the Synchronize view, perform a Clean Timestamps on all projects_______________________________________________
