[chrony-users] Fallback clock on event "Can't synchronise: no reachable sources"

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


Hi,

I am a regular chrony user and I have a question related to the behavior of chrony in the case of the event: "Can't synchronise: no reachable sources".
chrony rev.: 1.29

I have a system with a write protected system partition and an NTP server running within a local network. Sporadically, chrony reports the above mentioned error. The error persists maybe within a time range of 20-30 seconds. Within that time interval, the system time seems to diverge/drift by a couple of 10 milliseconds, which seems unreasonable large for me.

My questions are now:
(a) What is chrony exactly doing upon the event "Can't synchronise: no reachable sources". It does not seem to keep the current system time. Is it falling back on hardware clock maybe? (b) Or might something be wrong with the drift estimate, causing this large divergence during the short time interval (c) Are there some files I could look at the trace back what's happening within these time intervals?

Thank you for your answers,

Ulrich
