similar to: clock sync/drift

Is there a package to do this? Normally the hardware clock is set during shutdown if one is running ntpd. But if a long-running server shuts down unexpectedly, this isn't done, and the hardware clock might be off by a lot when it comes back up. So setting it periodically from a cron job could be useful. What do others do? Adding a one liner to /etc/cron.daily that invokes

Hi, I've noticed that one of my new servers (new mobo) if drifting slowly backwards in time (in aprox. 24 hours, system time drifts back 5 minutes). I have an ntpd process which is supposed to sync with a lan time server but it's not quite working. So I'm launching a manual ntpdate or ntp-client once an hour and that seems to work. However, suppose I update system time at every hour

Hello, in system-config-date i have checkbox synchronize date before service startup. Which config switch,file does it affect? I want to turn it on on my CentOS machine without xauth , just editing config files , i was hoping it could be in /etc/sysconfig/ntpd but no. Thanks in advance!

Decided to try out lpxelinux on a couple of Dell R610s. Both versions 5.10 and 6.03 hung on a server with fairly up-to-date BIOS (6.1.0), but work fine on another R610 with old BIOS (1.2.6). Watching the TFTP log and running tcpdump on the PXE server, I see it download pxelinux.0 (renamed from lpxelinux.0), but it never even tries to transfer anything after that succeeds. It eventually (seems

I installed CentOS 4.4 32 bit on a dual core AMD64 motherboad. Its a Tyan Tomcat K8E motherboard with socket 939. The clock keeps drifting off like 5+ minutes an hour. Run ntpupdate hourly to compensate. Any ideas why or how to fix? Matt

Hello, On a xenserver with several (39) domUs, we experience problems with the system clock of the domUs. The clock seems to drift away several seconds up to two minutes from the dom0 clock. We do have set independent_wallclock=0. According to the docs (i.e. http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/InstallationNotes) that way domUs should use the dom0 clock, but apparently that''s not the case.

Hi, I have a set of servers whose system time is drifting. I am running ntp client on CentOS 5.8. My config is here -> http://fpaste.org/s55U/ Anything i am missing? Regards, Kaushal

This must be documented somewhare but I checked the Xen 3.0 manual and the word "clock" doesn''t even exist in it. I checked the FAQ as well. I am running Xen 3.0.1 and an AMD64 CPU. I found that DOMUs time clock drifts ahead. I installed ntpdate and it reports to change the time but it does not. David _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list

Hello All, Consider a CentOS-5.1 Xen server (2.6.18-53.1.4.el5xen) hosting two domains running CentOS-5.1 (2.6.18-53.1.4.el5). One domain has a fairly accurate clock, the other domain has a clock that gains ungodly amounts of time, roughly one minute every two or three minutes. For a fix, one suggestion is to run this command in DomU: echo 1 > /proc/sys/xen/independent_wallclock This

Hi All, Sorry again to bother you with this but there is really something I don't fully understand about client/server clock syncs. If I connect to the stream with a fresh browser, I can measure between 5-10 secs latency. I keep listening to it for while, and the delay between server and client grows as listening is going on. As pointed out Philipp yesterday to me, it's approximately a 5%

Dear list(s), we are running a cluster of virtual machines on ganeti 2.15.2 on top of qemu-kvm 2.1.2. Hosts are Debian jessie (Kernel 3.16). We have big trouble with timekeeping on guests, no matter if these guests are lenny, squeeze, wheezy or jessie. Clock drifts heavily on some, others are fine. There is no obvious pattern on which guest this happens and on which not, but it seems the clock

Hey all, I was watching some logs on a domU today and i suddenly noticed that the timestamps were off by something on the order of 47 seconds. I was surprised because *I don''t* run independent wall clocks. I checked some other domUs and the "drift" was also very close to that of the first domU. I also checked another dom0, Here the domUs were "only" out of sync by

We have DELL R900 server with PERC6/i and PERC 6/E in it. O.S. is CENTOS 5.3. I download latest PERC 6 driver from DELL site and tried to installed it. I have error messages said : Module version 00.00.03.21 for megaraid_sas.ko is not newer than what is already found in kernel 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 (00.00.04.01-RH1). Does CENTOS 5.3 come with PERC6 driver? I knew in CENTOS 4.X PERC 5 or PERC6

SO, my full load on my core UPS is two Dell R610s, one Sun X4540, one HP DL360p gen8, two six-core Thuban-II workstations plua their monitors, and the network stack and KVM. The APC SU3000RM (3KVA) that blew up last week considered this to be just short of 60% load. The new Cyberpower PR3000 (also 3KVA), wqhich operates at a 90% power factor, considers this same load to be 43% load. I wasn't

1. Shouldn''t the GPLPV drivers take care of the (bad) clock drift I''m experiencing in my Windows XP HVM? Or is there some other way around this problem that I haven''t been able to find on Google? How can I tell if the GPLPV drivers are active? I''ve added the /gplpv switch to the boot.ini file and the virtual NIC is definitely using the GPLPV version but other

I have a dual Xeon 5130 (four total CPUs) server running CentOS 5.7. Approximately every 17 hours, the load on this server slowly creeps up until it hits 20, then slowly goes back down. The most recent example started around 2:00am this morning. Outside of these weird times, the load never exceeds 2.0 (and in fact spends the overwhelming majority of its time at 1.0). So this morning, a few

I?m looking for advice and considerations on how to optimally setup and deploy an NFS-based home directory server. In particular: (1) how to determine hardware requirements, and (2) how to best setup and configure the server. We actually have a system in place, but the performance is pretty bad---the users often experience a fair amount of lag (1--5 seconds) when doing anything on their home

I can't seem to find the answer to this question via web search... I changed some hardware on a server, and upon powering it back on, got the "/dev/xxx has gone 40 days without being check, check forced" message. Now it's running fsck on a huge (2 TB) ext3 filesystem (5400 RPM drives no less). How can I stop this in-progress check? Ctrl-C doesn't seem to have any effect.

Does any know of a way to sync the hardware clock without a reboot?
