[systemd-devel] timesyncd on systems without battery

[Dan Tihelka]

Hello,
I run systemd on a NAS without internal-clock-holding battery, so I think that 
the systemd-timesyncd sets the time to the last known value after restart and 
syncs it from the network when on-line. Is it right?

Now, I have a shutdown timer unit, which powers the NAS off at the given time.
However, sometimes (about 50% of cases), when the device is powerd-on, it 
switches off immediately. When switched-on again, it boots as expected.

The question is, is there a way of fixing the issue? I have tried to add sleep 
to skip to the next minute, but unsuccessfully.

Thank you,
DT
