Hi,
As part of getting ready for the end of the world as we know it I just
upgraded a BBB to 4.2.8p3 and discovered that the leap_armed system status is
not updated if a leapsecond file is loaded dynamically.
Here’s the trace:
I restarted ntpd after a build and installing a leap second file. The log
showed that the leapsecond file was not picked up.
Jun 6 22:10:10 bb2 ntpd[1469]: Listen normally on 5 eth0
[fe80::7aa5:4ff:fecc:d05d%2]:123
Jun 6 22:10:10 bb2 ntpd[1469]: Listening on routing socket on fd #22 for
interface updates
Jun 6 22:10:10 bb2 ntpd[1469]: leapsecond file ('/etc/ntp/leapdir/leapsecs'):
stat failed: No such file or directory
Jun 6 22:10:13 bb2 ntpd[1469]: Soliciting pool server 85.21.78.91
I then corrected the error, which was due to a finger check on the directory
name and waited for ntpd to pick up the now available file, which it did an
hour later.
Jun 6 23:10:10 bb2 ntpd[1469]: leapsecond file ('/etc/ntp/leapdir/leapsecs'):
loaded, expire=2015-12-01T00:00Z last=2015-07-01T00:00Z ofs=36
I thought that would be the end of the story, but a routine check this morning
showed that the leap_armed status was not set.
mike@bb2:~$ ntpq -c rv
associd=0 status=0615 leap_none, sync_ntp, 1 event, clock_sync,
version="ntpd 4.2.8p3-RC1@1.3265-o Sat Jun 6 14:56:55 UTC 2015 (1)",
processor="armv7l", system="Linux/3.8.13-bone47", leap=00, stratum=2,
I then restarted ntpd to check if that helped.

So, it’s fixed by a reboot. Anyone seen this?
