nptd calculates a correction coefficient and (under FreeBSD) stores it
in /var/db/ntpd.drift for use on next start so as to more quickly
establish a lock.
So in short ntpd calibrates your clock in order to minimize the
corrections required. Is The Right Thing To Do.
We run a large number of FreeBSD servers under vmware. We've seen ntpd
silently die, because the drift becomes "insane." What do others do in
this situation? (We've resorted to croning ntpdate for VMs.)
kern.hz="100"
in /boot/loader.conf solved this problem for me.
