Both of these don't work unfortunately. chronc reports me 513 RTC driver not running, although I have everything set.

I am btw missing an /etc/adjtime file, since our rootfs including /etc is read-only. Could that be a problem?

Makes me wonder if RTC syncing ever worked with the rtcsync directive present. There was never really a log about chrony syncing to the RTC. I have now tried to manually set the RTC to a wrong value and have waited more than 11 minutes. The RTC is still not getting set.
