IIRC since chrony 3.1, you don’t have to set the rtcdevice directive to a non-existent character device file.
Another part of this was to add to /etc/sysconfig/chronyd OPTIONS=" -s" to take the timestamp from the driftfile. Is this still needed?
Yup. The “-s” option is all you need now to deal with systems with no RTC or without any battery.
thanks
Cheers, Vincent
