Here's one of my systems, running ntpd on stable/11 r330228 on XenServer 7.3, and there have been no issues so far. Timekeeping is as good as can be expected. The XenServer host has Intel CPUs. $ uname -aKU FreeBSD somehost 11.1-STABLE FreeBSD 11.1-STABLE #0 r330228: Thu Mar 1 10:58:45 CET 2018 root@somehost:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/XENGUEST amd64 1101511 1101511 $ w | head -1 2:18p.m. up 5 days, 1:23, 1 user, load averages: 0,18 0,20 0,17 Note, I run a custom kernel eliminating most of the unneeded stuff when running as a/an Xen guest, see https://ximalas.info/~trond/create-zfs/canmount/XENGUEST-amd64-stable-11 for details. -- Trond. _______________________________________________ freebsd-security@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-security To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-security-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
