Hi, it seems I have issues with clock on VBox appliances. I think the basic idea is to install guest extensions and enjoy a precise time, but this does not work well, I see differences of 1000ms and even more.
When using NTP, things get worse, because guest extensions and NTPset time alternatingly, causing "jumping time". I tried to disable guest extensions time setting, but then suspend/resume fails to detect the needed clock adjustment and NTP stops clock setting, because the time is such much off that it assumes an error. Guests are Debian 7. Hosts are Debian 7 or Windows 7. On at least Windows 7 as host I have the additional problem, that the local clock runs badly, although I configured internet time with "time.windows.com", but I have time differences exceeding a whole second, often multiple seconds. This is bad enough, but I hope using VBox I could "abstract" from the bad host OS and have a correct time nevertheless :-) I searched the web, but only found that guest extensions are supposed to work. Do they work as precisely as NTP (very few milliseconds difference) or do I simply expect too much? Are there best practices to deal with the issue? I think a working clock is a standard thing, but faced issues on multiple guest and hosts, so I hope someone could please enlighten me.
