--- Time Drift Compensation on Linux Clusters 1. Background During the operation of the 2.4.27 kernel under intense IO conditions a clock drift was detected. The system time, as received by gettimeofday() began lagging behind the wall clock. All PCs have a battery driven hardware clock. This clock is used
