What should it look like? How long should it take to get stable? I was expecting ntpd to think for a while, then jump to close to the right value, then converge to the final value. I'd expect that to take an hour or so.
What I'm seeing (recent ntp-dev) is that the jump doesn't get very close and the converge part takes multiple hours, depending upon how far off the jump was. Has anybody else watched a startup transient recently? I've been looking at a lot of them while chasing a Linux glitch that doesn't compute the CPU frequency repeatably. What should happen if I start with an explicit drift value that is way off? -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
