Crazy VM clock drift
- by SimonJGreen
This is taken from an Ubuntu 10.10 VM running on ESX5:
Nov 3 21:58:50 server1 ntpd[21169]: adjusting local clock by 31.187370s
Nov 3 22:02:36 server1 ntpd[21169]: adjusting local clock by 31.159808s
Nov 3 22:05:18 server1 ntpd[21169]: adjusting local clock by 31.067579s
Nov 3 22:07:59 server1 ntpd[21169]: adjusting local clock by 30.952187s
Nov 3 22:11:38 server1 ntpd[21169]: adjusting local clock by 30.890147s
According to the VMWare KB no kernel tweaks should be needed for Ubuntu 10.10 to maintain time to their standards.
What's especially odd is the drift seems fairly consistent.
Any help appreciated on this one!
