Re: Clock drift issues

2011-05-30 Thread Vincent Hoffman
Try running ntpd rather than one off ntpdate?
I have plenty of physical machines that need this anyway.

 Hi Guys,

 Running 8.2-RELEASE/amd64 as the operating system on my VPS.

 Every couple of weeks I am finding myself having to log in and resync
 the clock as it's drifted (I am in Au (GMT+10)).


 Today again:

 

 srv# date
 Mon May 30 14:21:16 EST 2011

 srv# /etc/rc.d/ntpdate start
 Setting date via ntp.
 30 May 14:37:41 ntpdate[8207]: step time server 203.171.85.237 offset
 958.736122 sec

 srv# date
 Mon May 30 14:37:43 EST 2011

 Is there any fix for this?

 Thanks, Alex.

Hi,

The clock is Sync'd though, it should *stay* correct, right? So there 
is a bug?

My experience is also that the clock is not stable on FreeBSD 8.X
guest on Xen and KVM HVM. It is unusable as a ntp server for other
hosts and I need to run ntpd to prevent the guest clock from drifting
and jumping.

Some times I get syslog messages about the time going backwards,
which is probably related:

calcru: runtime went backwards from 41668 usec to 35093 usec for pid 96767 
(bash)

I have not tried this with the CURRENT kernel (which has new and
configurable event timer infrastructure by mav@).

(Linux guests are fine for running ntp server within Xen  KVM.)
