Title:
clock sync via NTP causes commissioning or deployment failures
Status in cloud-init:
New
Status in MAAS:
New
Bug description:
We have a mixed OS environment under MAAS control. When we release a
system in MAAS previously running windows, the hardware clock will be
set to local time (CST) which is just what Windows does natively. When
we go to recommission the system and then redeploy it with Ubuntu, it
PXE boots into Ubuntu and then timedatectl will sync with NTP, causing
the clock to skip ahead 5 hours, which in turn causes cloud-init to
fail and thus the commissioning or deployment task will fail. Here's
an example log:

At this moment, MAAS will immediately mark the task as failed, even if
the later commissioning or deployment steps do continue to run on the
host.
