uralmasha Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 (edited) I observe extremely fast clock on my Mandriva RC2 box. Within 3 hours it is half an hour ahead of time! I enabled NTP synchronization, and changed servers couple of time, and even the timezone back and forth, but this doesnt' seem to help... I thought it would synchronize itself often enough to forget about it, but no. I also see sometimes negative execution time reported in the database, which is likely the consequence of wrong ticking. I don't know what could be the reason for such behaiviour, perhaps the fact that I have CPUfreqd running? Unfortunately, I don't have something to compare to: this is my new AMD 2X box that has only seen mdv-community 2006.0 (installed as RC2). Anyone came across it, too?

scarecrow Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 There was such a problem in one older 2.6.12 kernel revision... Linux keeps its own time, not the hardware one, and a bug had crept in the kernel's "Realtime Clock Module". Do you happen to use 2.6.12.2 or something close to that?

uralmasha Posted October 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 uname -r 2.6.12-12mdksmp I noticed that ntp demon complains about timing: ntpd[6050]: frequency error -504 PPM exceeds tolerance 500 PPM I googled it, bu no particular discussion came up.

scarecrow Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Does it happen with the NTP daemon disabled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uralmasha Posted October 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 (edited) Yes it does. Update: This behaviour/bug seems to fixed in the official release of mandriva. Edited October 13, 2005 by uralmasha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
