libvirt users - Dec 2013 - guest daemon reading kvmclock - not needed/ bad idea ?

<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I dug various posts and
articles on
guest time synchronization.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I could not conclude
why it might be
better to use ntpd in a guest rather than a daemon that reads from kvmclock
</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">and having NTP running
on the host only.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">(assuming the guest OS
is a recent linux
and so the clock source is set to the paravirtualized kvm PVclock).</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">thanks!</font>
