Didn't this thread start with a warning about raid systems hanging at boot? What on earth does raid care what the timezone is? Does some raid header somewhere have timestamps recorded in local time to emulate Microsoft? :-).
There is a long history of problems going back to UNIX caused by clock adjustments that result in skipping over the time for some process to run via cron or at, etc. There are countermeasures to handle this, but I suspect it is one of those simple problems that does not have any robust solutions. I used schedule stuff for "random" minutes, never right on the hour.
