Oh that is interesting ...


# ntpctl -s all
0/1 sensors valid, clock unsynced

sensor
   wt gd st  next  poll          offset  correction
vmmci0
    1  0  0   13s   15s         - sensor not valid -


sensor not valid - why would that happen?

I have no idea about the inner workings of vmd .. but maybe this host has
so many VMs that it is hitting some limit?

Don't forget that ntpd requires numerous polling cycles (at 15 seconds each)
to convince itself about how reliable it's time sources are.

Give it 5 minutes after restart, or even longer, before deciding for yourself
that it is not going to sync.

Another reason it may not sync is that the client current time is "too far away" from the external ntp time sources. You need to jump the time manually to fix that.
