Another strange bit is without PTP or any other time protocol running, on many
of the systems the system clock is drifting rapidly after syncing it to
hardware clock manually. Within twenty minutes the system clock is 7 minutes
ahead of the hardware clock. Is there way to see what is affecting the system
clock? There are about 8 machines acting this way, another 3 with seemingly the
same hardware, OS, and software on the same switch that are not exhibiting the
behavior.
The following is 24 hours after syncing the System clock to the hardware clock
manually

Sounds like a HW bug.

Which HW are you using?
Thanks,
