thanks for the suggestion. :-) well, i've followed those threads as well. firstly, my NAS NTP updates its system clock once per hour. as far as the logs tell, that is working just fine. secondly, there are suggestions to install an NTP daemon, which supposedly will make the clock more accurate(?). however, over at the qnap forum it is felt that that will not do the trick. a linux friend of mine has confirmed that. not sure why it seemed to help others, tho... the qnap forum also said it should be highly unlikely to see the qnap's clock drift by more than a couple of seconds per day, which is about right for a hardware-based RTC. thirdly, logic tells me that shouldn't be an issue. if the qnap's clock is the identical and concurrent reference for ALL SBs at the same time, a drift in the qnap's clock should cause ALL the SBs to drift at the same time, right? so the worst case would be that ALL SBs skip forward at the same time, and all by the same amount. OTOH, any differences between the SBs themselves would still be seen, because of their varying time shift _relative_ to the qnap. but as i said in my previous post, i am not sure how the sync mechanism actually works, and this chain of logic is based on pure assumption. -- dcote ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dcote's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9701 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65870 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
