Hi all,
I would like to have the guest "drifting" to a new set clock on the host.
My problem is the following:
- Host System (Linux) starts up, hwclock and kernel time are synced, guest
starts up with -rtc clock=host,driftfix=slew (which I assume should fix any
drift issue on ACPI compatible guest OSes)
- Host System kernel time drifts against the hwclock (jiffies timer due to
no other available useful timer on SMP systems - core2duo has no hpet!)
- calling "hwclock -s" on the host resyncs the kernel time with the
hwclock, so "date" and "hwclock" show the same again
- the guest stays at the "old" kernel time before the sync - also after 1
hour the delta is still the same, so no sync or slew is done :-(
My guest OS is Windows 8, which must have ACPI enabled, otherwise it will
not work.
Any ideas how to proceed? Maybe some command line parameters are wrong?
I need this resync for the guest due to external synchronization - it must
not be millisecond-precise, but a 9 seconds shift during a run overnight is
too much!
Thanks.
Best regards,
Erik
