8 Define critical! - to my mind if its critical you should be running your
9 own atomic clock, and something like a pps system to distribute it ...
10
11 or somewhere in the middle a local gps receiver for time lock.
12
13 Or do you mean reasonably accurate, but closely synced local systems?
14
15 My interest after having a stable ntp based hierarchy for years is in
16 trying to get the same using a cisco router and VMs' - not easy so far!
17 When I used an ancient netgear adsl, and a linux firewall/ntp server it
18 was very good, now ...
19
20 Does anyone know a good guide to using time sync in VM's, for both
21 windows and linux (gentoo) guests using libvirt? Especially for guests
22 that are resumed, or the whole virtualisation system is hibernated? (ntp
23 refuses to resync after guest pause/save/restore/resume (known problem),
24 even with "tinker panic 0"
25
26 My current setup is complicated by using a cisco router (adsl) as the
27 localnet master via local (ISP/University) time servers - its rather
28 inaccurate so while the machines are often "locked", its in rather
29 relative terms :)
