Linux clock loses 10 minutes every week
- by PaKempf
One of my linux server's clock loses 10 minutes every now and then, nearly every week. I update the time so it stays correct, and although it doesn't really bother me, i'd like to fix it.
I've been searching around a bit. Nothing can be responsible in the crontab, and i can't find any related message in the logs.
Some people seem to use ntp to fix that kind of issue, but i'd prefer not to use an unecessary component on it.
Uname result :

So if you have any clue of where to look or what i could use to monitor those date change ?
Here is some more infos : the server is a virtual server hosted on HyperV on a win 2012 server. Don't know if it changes anything, seen the other servers hosted don't have this issue...
