No, the offset can be set only when the PLL is enabled. In the kernel code (kernel/time/ntp.c): static void ntp_update_offset(long offset) { s64 freq_adj; s64 offset64; long secs; if (!(time_status & STA_PLL)) return; Even if it could be set and it did nothing except being reported back in timex, chronyd would need to update it periodically to be useful. I don't think that would be acceptable as chronyd is supposed to be friendly to power saving. -- Miroslav Lichvar -- To unsubscribe email [email protected] with "unsubscribe" in the subject.
