I guess a difference of 1.5 ppm could be explained by new kernel timekeeping implementation, different rounding, etc. Does it change across reboots? For instance, with the tsc clocksource on Linux it's expected to see some variation as the calibration takes just a second or so. -- Miroslav Lichvar -- To unsubscribe email chrony-dev-requ...@chrony.tuxfamily.org with "unsubscribe" in the subject.
