Hi,

Thanks for mentioning this! You can also see our recommendations on http://www.vr.org/support/index.php?action=kb&article=38 regarding time drift. It looks like you discovered changing the default clocksource on your own.

Thanks!

Timekeeping in virtual systems is a really tricky topic.
A really great document with a lot of details & background information about why common timesyncing methods often just don't work or make the issue even worse in VM is the VMware Timekeeping guide - IMHO an absolutely recommended read - not only for VMware users: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmware_timekeeping.pdf

Nice that you documented, hope it won't be too much different when Bill releases the smartbook.

Comment on Gentoo: Easy way to ditch your ISP nameserver by Paul

Paul — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 21:20:31 +0000

Thanks for the article, it's exactly what I needed. I had something set up like this previously with djbdns but got lost in a system upgrade and never found the time to do it again. These instructions were nice and easy.

To the people who say to use the ISP nameserver: my ISP nameservers are horribly slow and often timeout, they resolve invalid hostames (to point to their ad-infested error page), sometimes resolve valid hostnames as their ad-page as well, and they sell customer's DNS lookup history to companies for targeted advertising. No thanks!
