Package: adjtimex
Version: 1.18-1
Severity: important
Hello,
since adjtimex 1.18-1 the clock drift estimation goes somehow wrong.
I had 1.16-1 before, which guessed TICK=10000 and FREQ=+-something-big
on all my machines, which seemed to be good.
adjtimex 1.18-1 guesses things like TICK=9880 or TICK=9967 or TICK=10880
and FREQ=+-something-big, which leads to heavy clock drifts (more than
30 minutes) within a quite short time (less than a day) on all my
machines.
Drifts that not even ntpd is able to compensate.
Perhaps, this is something to forward upstream.
PS: kernel is 2.4.26 on all machines, perhaps this has something to
do with the changed HZ things in 2.6, dunno.
Thanks for your work & regards,
Mario
