[chrony-users] Validating PHC operation on Microsoft VM

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


I'm running chrony 4.5 (which is the current default) on a commercial Microsoft Azure VM (Linux myVm 6.8.0-1021-azure).  By default a PTP hardware clock is used as a time source:
chrony.conf has no servers defined
refclock PHC /dev/ptp_hyperv poll 3 dpoll -2 offset 0
No external servers are defined.  This is the default configuration.

Current time source:  hyperv_clocksource_tsc_page
Available time sources: hyperv_clocksource_tsc_page hyperv_clocksource_msr acpi_pm
This is the default setting.

AFAICT chrony is happy, but is providing inaccurate time: Time is in error by 30-50 msec with substantial jitter.  

Dropping the PHC refclock and using nearby stratum 1's give much better results.

Any suggestions for further debugging?
