Hi! ----
More or less an update to my original "VMware's rock around the clock..."-posting (http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/opensolaris-discuss/2006-March/013848.html): 1. In Solaris 11 B83a and B84 the VMware tools no longer sync the time with the host OS (I'm not using "ntpdate" to slew the VM's clock each 15mins to get a more or less accurate time) 2. In Solaris 11/B72 (where the VMware tools were still properly working) the VMware tools cause sub-second "time jumps". This isn't a big issue for nornmal applications but things like test suites which compare filesystem timestamps (which support sub-second granulation) blow-up (which renders VMware currently more or less useless for development in my case). IMO the suggested fix would be to teach the VMware tools to "slew" the clock if the time difference is smaller than 5mins and only "set" the time when the differenfec is greater (maybe this should be a tuneable). ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) [EMAIL PROTECTED] \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;) _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
