Sure, it wastes a little, but ...
When writing "The Virtualization Cookbook",
http://linuxvm.org/present/misc/virt-cookbook-2.pdf, we took Rob's
suggestion to save a few cycles by doing the following:
1) Have one zLinux server run the NTP server, xntpd, syncing to servers on
the Internet becoming stratum n+1
2) Have all other zLinux servers sync to the first one, becoming stratum
n+2, once a night with a cron script:
# cat /etc/cron.daily/set-clock
#!/bin/bash
# Adjust the clock
/usr/sbin/ntpd -q
The /etc/ntp.conf file on each simply has a single "server" statement
pointing to server (1).
If the underlying hardware clock keeps good time, does the Linux clock
actually drift?
How?
Let's ignore DST as a separate issue.
