Hi,

using SLES10 I'm unable to synchronize the time of DomU with that of
Dom0. There  is a persistent offset of about 3 seconds!

(laughs) I just happen to be working on this myself.  All of my DomUs are
about 15 seconds fast compared to the Dom0 and I've been searching the
archives to figure out why this happens.


As far as my experience shows, none of the ntp / independent_wallclock combinations work. We got the same problem here with xen 3.0.2 and kernel 2.6.16. It looks like ntpd can't set the time in DomUs with independent_wallclock set to 1 but the DomUs aren't using the exact time of Dom0 with independent_wallclock set to 0.

With knowing that we decided to wait for kernel release 2.6.18 because some stuff regarding hwclock und system-clock was changed.

Maybe someone else can give us a better answer what to do with that?

Thanks,

Tom
