FreeBSD 6.2 running on X86 hardware (FSC) shows a remarkable time drift running ntpdate every half hour shows that the system looses about 10-14 sec each time. 15 May 10:06:48 ntpdate[7200]: step time server 192.53.103.108 offset -13.799602 sec 15 May 10:36:48 ntpdate[7515]: step time server 192.53.103.108 offset -12.813941 sec 15 May 11:06:48 ntpdate[7879]: step time server 192.53.103.108 offset -13.651921 sec 15 May 11:36:50 ntpdate[8079]: step time server 192.53.103.108 offset -11.109298 sec 15 May 12:06:50 ntpdate[8289]: step time server 192.53.103.108 offset -11.836499 sec
FreeBSD 7.0 on an otherwise almost identical system has a time drift of a few millisecs every half hour. 15 May 10:35:00 ntpdate[7999]: adjust time server 192.53.103.108 offset 0.009963 sec 15 May 10:35:51 ntpdate[8007]: adjust time server 192.53.103.108 offset -0.004890 sec 15 May 10:50:00 ntpdate[8042]: adjust time server 192.53.103.108 offset 0.010734 sec 15 May 11:05:00 ntpdate[8088]: adjust time server 192.53.103.108 offset 0.004523 sec 15 May 11:20:01 ntpdate[8114]: adjust time server 192.53.103.108 offset 0.005800 sec The 6.2 system is a production system, has a uptime of almost 300 days and I don't want to experiment a lot with acpi, battery or so. What would be your suspicion on the large time drift of the FreeBSD 6.2 system? -- Volker Jahns, [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
