Has this got anything to do with ipa ? The messages started only recently, which makes me think that it's not a hardware issue. There were only two notable changes to this system recently. The hdd had to be replaced, and a replica was set up. Could either have any part to play ? On Thu, Sep 10,

OS: RHEL 7.1 w IDM I'm seeing these messages in my master's log messages. I don't know if it's related, but I think I started seeing them after I set up a replica. Everything seems to be working fine, but I'm worried that things will break if delta grows beyond a point. I tried steps in

Thanks. I'm not virtualizing though. Should I still add it ? On Thu, Sep 10, 2015 at 5:02 AM, Andrew Holway wrote: > Hi, > > I assume you are virtualising. > > Try adding "tinker panic 0" to /etc/ntp.conf. > > It should make it tolerant to heavily drifting virtual

Thats odd. You would normally not need it on bare metal. It could be broken hardware. On 10 September 2015 at 14:05, Prasun Gera wrote: > Thanks. I'm not virtualizing though. Should I still add it ? > > On Thu, Sep 10, 2015 at 5:02 AM, Andrew Holway

The hardware is not very old (ivybridge). The entries appear every few minutes in the log. The /etc/ntp.conf has not been modified manually. It lists 3 servers - 0.rhel.pool.ntp.org, 1 and 2. At the end, there are also a couple of additional local servers with the comment added by

So I did a bit of googling and tinker panic 0 only makes sense for virtual machines. Is there any way to confirm if it is indeed a hardware issue ? On Thu, Sep 10, 2015 at 5:16 AM, Andrew Holway wrote: > Thats odd. You would normally not need it on bare metal. It could
