BTRFS is Reading an Hour behind / its 21:23 Local time I take a snapshot it reads 20:23

It looks like UTC time can be enabled with a flag, but should not be the default:

GLOBAL OPTIONS

--utc

Display dates and times in UTC. By default, local time is used.

On my systems, snapshots are labeled with the correct time, and I am in the EST timezone.

This isn’t the first time this has come up, actually: Snapper problems - #8 by lum1nuss

@lum1nuss did you ever figure out why your snapshots are on UTC?

@Firas is your system time correct? Check the output of the date command.
