Re: ntpd struggling to keep up - how to fix?
Hi, One of my machines, the fileserver-with-zfs-to-be[1] has trouble keeping correct time. Or rather, ntpd is struggling. In /var/lkog/messages I see this: Feb 7 12:05:54 kg-f2 ntpd[909]: ntpd 4.2.4p5-a (1) Feb 7 12:11:16 kg-f2 ntpd[910]: time reset +1.020413 s Feb 7 12:11:16 kg-f2 ntpd[910]: kernel time sync status change 2001 Feb 7 12:26:26 kg-f2 ntpd[910]: time reset +2.277793 s Feb 7 12:41:29 kg-f2 ntpd[910]: time reset +2.260229 s Feb 7 12:57:02 kg-f2 ntpd[910]: time reset +2.332972 s Feb 7 13:21:24 kg-f2 ntpd[910]: time reset +3.659869 s Feb 7 13:37:01 kg-f2 ntpd[910]: time reset +2.343230 s Feb 7 13:52:24 kg-f2 ntpd[910]: time reset +2.310659 s Feb 7 14:07:29 kg-f2 ntpd[910]: time reset +2.265705 s Feb 7 14:23:03 kg-f2 ntpd[910]: time reset +2.335868 s Feb 7 14:39:06 kg-f2 ntpd[910]: time reset +2.46 s Feb 7 14:54:32 kg-f2 ntpd[910]: time reset +2.318222 s Feb 7 15:09:55 kg-f2 ntpd[910]: time reset +2.308120 s Feb 7 15:25:49 kg-f2 ntpd[910]: time reset +2.388391 s Feb 7 15:40:54 kg-f2 ntpd[910]: time reset +2.265464 s Feb 7 15:55:57 kg-f2 ntpd[910]: time reset +2.257952 s Feb 7 16:11:45 kg-f2 ntpd[910]: time reset +2.373325 s [snip] I think this looks like the same problem I had with another AMD system, which may be related to some HPET stuff (I no longer have access to that system, though :( I have the some problem on my machine (also AMD, running 8.0 + patches), after a while ntpd gives up sync'ing and then the time is off by minutes (roughly 80sec after.. say 10 hours) :( I switched to opentnpd (you can find it in ports) and the clock stays in sync now, so you might want to consider that, too PS: I had a spare disk so I tried Linux on the same machine, and ntpd is running fine for 2 days without any problems; so I guess it's not a hw fault HTH ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: em0 watchdog timeouts
In muc.lists.freebsd.stable, you wrote: Rudy wrote: I am having watchdog timeout issues with my Intel 82573 Pro/1000 ... http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-net/2008-May/018075.html link to dcgdis.zip didn't work. Do you have a copy? Thanks, Jack. Got the file and flashed -- no upgrade needed. So, while the router was offline, I flashed the motherboards bios (Supermicro X7Sbi), upgraded to 7.2-STABLE, and downloaded the 6.9.12 version of the em driver. Still, watchdog timeouts. Sigh. Hi Rudy, may I ask which clients have access to your FreeBSD 7.2 server? I had similar problems a few days ago; I have no idea what exactly happend, but Ubuntu Linux (NIS and NFS client) made my em0 timeout after a while, too, (and even crashed my FreeBSD 7.2 box a few times!) This box was rock solid before, I even thought my Intel NIC was broken... Anyway, since I had no time (and clue) to analyze this further, I took the risk and upgraded to 8.0-RC1 and, well, everything is working fine now :-) HTH ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
