Re: [chrony-dev] 1.24-pre1-- sudden change in rtc slope

[ Thread Index | Date Index | More chrony.tuxfamily.org/chrony-dev Archives ]


Ignore this. It was operator error-- on running 1.24.pre1 the config file was
improperly set up and it resulted in no sources-- thus the rtc drifted wrt
the system at the drift of system plus rtc.
Sorry about the false alarm.

Strange behaviour of the rtc slope with the new version of chronyi (1.24pre1). I have
instituted it across a number of machines, and on many of them, suddenly the
rtc slope has changed hugely. For example on one machine, with the old chrony
1.23 the rtc slope was 7.5, it is now 206. PPM Nothing was done to the system
except change the version of the chrony that was running. I have not dived in
to see what the problem was/is, but there certainly seems to be a change which I do not believe to be a change in the operation of the rtc clock. iThe slopes were at all times obtained from the rtc.log file
