Hello!
I'm not very shure if this is right list, but still trying, as I don't know
better one (well, except of linux-kernel...:).
On one of our machines, linux clock goes very bad. System clock is faster
than real one for about 10 min/day. Hardware clock goes pretty accurate --
if I just reboot the machine, clock is ok, the same is for `hwclock --hctosys'.
There are a bunch of tools to syncronize hardware clock with linux clock,
them all assumed good accuracy of linux and bad things from hardware. But
here situation is just opposite -- hardawre clock is very accurate (about
2sec per month), and linux clock is *very*, very bad, just unacceptable.
As a workaround, I can frequently execute `hwclock --hctosys' (this needs to
be done frequently, or it touches linux clock badly and some applications
reacts badly as well -- for example, I regularily loose cron jobs), but this
isn't a solution but ugly workaround.
The machine itself is pretty cheap (but old now) Acer Altos server, PII-233MHz,
adaptec scsi etc etc. It was running solaris for a long time, without any
trouble. Only after "upgrading" solaris to linux I started to have this really
painy glitch.
Can someone comment -- what's happened and what's to do???
Thank for any help!
Regards,
Michael.
