Thanks Josh!
That solved the problem. I was able to set the time correctly with
ntpd just after setting that sysctl.

cheers,

Yes, that's the sysctl I've adjusted, too.
The one I mentioned earlier is not correct. I think I only used it to get valid
values to set for kern.timecounter.hardware. Sorry for the confusion.

time stops under VMWare VM

2013-06-21 Thread Rodolfo Gouveia 
Hi all,
I have had this issue that time stops under my 5.3 AMD64 VM
running on top of VMware ESXi 5.
The VM gets in this strange behaviour that time just stops:
 $ date
 Fri Jun 21 18:19:55 WEST 2013
 $ sudo date 198506131627
 Thu Jun 13 16:27:00 WEST 1985
after a few minutes
 $ date 
 Thu Jun 13 16:27:00 WEST 1985
Also I get the dmesg full of these messages:
 vmware: sending length failed, eax=, ecx=
 vmt0: failed to send TCLO outgoing ping

Another behaviour is that if I make a new tmux server, I can't
type inside it, like there is no feedback.

I've noticed this happens after I hit swap, output from top:
Memory: Real: 68M/336M act/tot Free: 646M Cache: 193M Swap: 21M/2050M

The only way I've found to resolve is to reboot the machine.

Any ideas?

I ended up adjusting the kern.timecounter.choice sysctl, which
worked for me.

There's now also a ESXi patch available from VMware. See KB2021185.
