Re: [gentoo-user] ntp large drift (frequency error, frequent time resets)

Is it physical or virtual environment? If virtual, clock issues are
common and, in case of VMWare, their tools handle them because ntp
cannot. Still, never use a virtual machine as a time reference.

If it's physical, my two cents are clueless. Maybe you wish to reduce
the frequency of the clock; I know it's a kernel parameter, but don't
remember which one.

Best regards,
