ntpd I taboo in all vmware guest installs per the recommendation from Vmware: the clock should be adjusted and trimmed only on the host CPU, not on the guests.
Funny, exactly the opposite on xen, otherwise systemd keeps complaining about the clock being adjusted.
Ah, I haven't tested that part yet.
systemd keeps saying "Time has been changed". See perhaps this thread. https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-virtual/2015-03/msg00015.html
Removing ntpd causes the installation to halt midprocess and complain of an error. Hitting continue works.
That sounds like a bug.
Ah, possibly.
Just saw it - it says "Error: Cannot adjust 'NTP' service.", it's one of the last steps " Writing NTP Configuration... ".
Probably other virtualization technology have the same issue, do not use ntp. I do not know for certain.
With xen, my guests run ntpd and have xen.independent_wallclock=1.
And both host and guest try to adjust the speed of the mother board hardware clock chip? (not the bios clock, that's a very different one).
No, only the Dom0 does that. The guests are independent when you use xen.independent_wallclock=1. http://www.novell.com/documentation/vmserver/config_options/data/b9qzhq5.htm... -- Per Jessen, Zürich (24.7°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
