Put a note in anyway :-)
Comment 8 RequestedDeletion 2013-11-06 16:00:15 CET
Eventually yes. All aspects regarding MSE Server being run in a virtualized environment.

Just not now for we are infants in grasping what is going on in those environments ;-)

Please close but remember :-)

I have got it Stephane, have been mulling over where to put it, wher would you suggest?..

Belwo is what should be sufficent for the wiki

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A new db key for ntpd: SupportLargeDrift. 
Default value is disabled, which doesn't change the current behaviour.

If set to enabled, it will
- add tinker panic 0 at the begening of the ntp.conf
- remove the lines
 server 127.127.1.0 # local clock
 fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10

With SupportLargeDrift enabled, the guest is able to resync the clock with the configured ntp server, even after resuming from a suspended state (tested with a ~10min drift, it took about 3 or 4 minutes for the guest to resync the clock after resuming).
