[chrony-users] makestep examples in docs |
[ Thread Index | Date Index | More chrony.tuxfamily.org/chrony-users Archives ]
I am using a GPS reference clock with chrony (on a Debian 8 Jessie
system). Occasionally the system time jumps way into the future
and can screw up applications that are sleeping or waiting based on
wall system time. I have been using `maxstep 1 -1`, assuming that the GPS time is always correct and steps should always be made if out by more than 1 second. That might be too extreme, so I want to only step in the first few updates, as suggested by the docs. The docs suggest `maxstep 0.1 3`, which would step if the error is greater than 100ms for the first 3 (or updates). That sounds ok, but every other example of `makestep` int the docs uses `maxstep 1.0 3` (i.e. 1 second, not 100ms). So is the 0.1 example a typo or is it intended. In summary, would it be recommended to use `makestep 0.1 3` or `makestep 1.0 3` when using chrony with GPS source (btw, it's the only source. no ntp servers are used). Thanks, Brendan. |
