I certainly know that no virtual machine I've ever installed has been
able to keep time worth spit using any kind of emulated hardware.
(Some older ones are so bad networking goes down because the time
is so far off they forget to renew their DHCP lease).
Time never made sense till newer versions of linux got virtualized
clocks that actually knew they ought to get time from the host.
I don't suppose anyone is working on a special clock driver for
windows?
The vmware web site has lots of info about getting time in virt
machine to work better, and a lot of the advice worked for me to
make time a bit better under KVM as well.
What does this mean? Can I use KVM as host for windows server guests?
If yes, I need to make clock at least a bit in sync. My current deltas are
from 0 seconds to 30000 seconds. More tha one hour skew is not acceptable
for servers. Also I am unable to synchronize windows guest time using NTP.
It's still not in sync.
Why there are so many of clock parameters and their suggestions, if there is
nothing I can do to at least be aproximatelly in sync (<3 seconds skew).
Thank you for reply.
