time zone change in Drobo FS

Drobo - End of Sale Drobo FS
1

I am wondering if Drobo FS timezone changed accordingly…

I am currently living in Hong Kong, and the Drobo FS is set to follow PST time…

I tried to change the TZ variable in /etc/profile, but it just keep stick with PDT time zone…

anyone knows how to change it?

Actually, the switchover from PDT to PST hasn’t happened in the states yet. I believe that happens in the wee hours tomorrow morning. Is that possibly the problem?

I would like to change it to Hong Kong Local time actually, it should be at GMT +8… (from what I know …)

Hi.
You can pick any timezone by just accessing the unit via ssh and edit the file /etc/profile

I fixed this on my Drobo 5N by copying a file called /usr/share/zoneinfo/GB-Eire (which is correct for my timezone) on my crosscompiler virtual machine to /etc/localtime. I renamed the original localtime (which appears to be somewhere on the US west coast) to localtime.orig, just in case anything goes wrong.

/usr/share/zoneinfo isn’t available on the Drobo5N, presumably because they didn’t expect people to care about it enough to waste the space.

Can I just use one of the files in /usr/share/zoneinfo/ on my Mac and copy it to the Drobo? I’m looking for a setting for Germany.
I’m afraid to damage anything …
