After having migrated a number of systems to a xen setup, I am seeing this "Time has been changed" message from systemd twice a minute in the guest systems (once per systemd daemon). The host is running ntpd, the guests aren't. Both host and guests are using openSUSE 13.2 + latest updates.
I remember such systemd output, looks like a bug in that component.
I dont know much about time keeping. My understanding is that Xen does a reasonable good job of keeping dom0 and domU time in sync. I think the only requirement or recommendation is that dom0 runs ntpd.
I have problem with domU clock. It lose 30 minutes each day. How can i synchronize it with dom0 clock?
Is this PV domU? If yes, setting /proc/sys/xen/independent_wallclock to 0 (the default) should make it sync with dom0. You only need ntp on dom0, and domUs will follow.
This is the setup I started out with, and where I see systemd reporting "Time has been changed" about once a minute. OTOH, that same paragraph also says:
The alternative, set /proc/sys/xen/independent_wallclock to 1 and run ntp on domU.
Which is what I am doing now. No systemd messages.
