Is there a clean way to run ntpd as a server in a guest VM in a vmware 2.x environment? The host and guest OS is Linux -- Debian 5.0.x. I've set it up and had it running for a while. ntpq sees a whole lot of jiiter. I've got nagios monitoring for the correct number of "truechimers". nagios irregularly reports the wrong number of truechimers and sends notifications. I tried setting divider=10 on the kernel command-line; no joy. I don't have the guest configured to sync time with the host. A nearby physical server running ntpd with the same sources has no problems with jitter or truechimers. Any ideas?
I know running ntpd in a virtual environment was historically an issue, but I was under the impression that these issues had been resolved. Is ntpd in a VM still a problem? vmware's doc on the subject: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1006427 _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
