Doing this command: grep "time reset " /var/log/ntp | less I find interesting things. From last February (suse 10.2) till November 2nd, the resets are smaller than a second. From that point, which is the date when I upgraded to 10.3, the resets increase to several minutes! 1 Nov 11:28:02 ntpd[4669]: time reset +0.493571 s 1 Nov 19:54:33 ntpd[6168]: time reset +0.324889 s 2 Nov 11:56:25 ntpd[6168]: time reset +0.493251 s 2 Nov 14:09:49 ntpd[6168]: time reset +0.761453 s 2 Nov 18:57:50 ntpd[6168]: time reset +0.267648 s 2 Nov 19:19:37 ntpd[6168]: time reset +0.633949 s 3 Nov 15:04:26 ntpd[4993]: time reset +13.963114 s <=== upgrade to 10.3 3 Nov 16:14:24 ntpd[4993]: time reset +126.365828 s 3 Nov 19:12:32 ntpd[5051]: time reset +42.074367 s 4 Nov 12:46:09 ntpd[5076]: time reset +22.996088 s 4 Nov 13:32:56 ntpd[5076]: time reset +393.672856 s 5 Nov 13:35:23 ntpd[5163]: time reset +351.141250 s 5 Nov 14:00:25 ntpd[5163]: time reset +318.950445 s .. 30 Nov 12:48:37 ntpd[11777]: time reset +28.109032 s 1 Dec 00:31:56 ntpd[8904]: time reset +403.049432 s 1 Dec 23:48:30 ntpd[10935]: time reset +74.982738 s 3 Dec 19:31:42 ntpd[29084]: time reset +309.343782 s 3 Dec 20:34:30 ntpd[29084]: time reset +220.290279 s 4 Dec 12:22:58 ntpd[5847]: time reset +0.168114 s 4 Dec 14:04:05 ntpd[5847]: time reset +243.829774 s 4 Dec 15:23:59 ntpd[5847]: time reset +173.514626 s 4 Dec 16:05:21 ntpd[5847]: time reset +4.773942 s That's a definite problem in the clock system / ntp client in 10.3! One could thing that the hybernation cycles could have something to do, but they didn't in 10.2; and recently (Nov 22) I installed a hook to reset the ntp client on every hybernation cycle. Yesterday I disabled these two lines in the ntp config: server 127.127.1.0 # local clock (LCL) fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10 # LCL is unsynchronized And I can see the clock drifting fast when it loses the connection (without the message "synchronized to LOCAL(0), stratum 10"): 3 Dec 19:11:29 ntpd[29084]: synchronized to 88.191.43.2, stratum 2 3 Dec 19:12:44 ntpd[29084]: synchronized to 213.96.197.96, stratum 2 3 Dec 19:13:34 ntpd[29084]: no servers reachable 3 Dec 19:20:14 ntpd[29084]: synchronized to 88.191.43.2, stratum 2 3 Dec 19:21:32 ntpd[29084]: synchronized to 213.96.197.96, stratum 2 3 Dec 19:22:36 ntpd[29084]: synchronized to 88.191.43.2, stratum 2 3 Dec 19:31:42 ntpd[29084]: time reset +309.343782 s A 300" error in less than 20 minutes after "no servers reachable"!
