Jens Kristian Geyti commented on KUDU-2097:
-------------------------------------------
As a matter of principle, yes, it sounds healthy to aim to adhere to distro
defaults. That said, I don't know much about ntp, and a quick search does seem
to indicate subtle differences between how ntpd and timesyncd synchronise time.
Regarding maxerror, I don't know, but I suspect not, given a comparison between
the two following searches for "maxerror":
NTP reference implementation:
https://github.com/ntp-project/ntp/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=maxerror&type=
Timesyncd:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=maxerror&type=
> Add note about disabling timesyncd
> ----------------------------------
>
> Key: KUDU-2097
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-2097
> Project: Kudu
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Environment: Ubuntu with both timesyncd and ntp running after a fresh
> kudu install
> Reporter: Jens Kristian Geyti
> Priority: Trivial
>
> As kudu requires and automatically installs ntpd, it would be helpful to have
> the ntp troubleshooting document note that the user may to disable timesynd,
> as they'll likely conflict if running at the same time.
> Symptom:
> On ubuntu for example, that would cause `timedatectl status` to return
> ```
> NTP synchronized: no
> ```
> despite `ntpstat` returning
> ```
> ...
> synchronised to NTP server
> ...
> ```
> Disabling timesyncd (`systemctl disable systemd-timesyncd`) solves the
> conflict.
