I'm running KVM w/ centos 6.x.



My guest vm clocks are booting with a 1-2 second lag from their host. My clocksource for the host is ntp. My clocksource for the guest is "kvm-clock", but I need to run ntpd on the guest as well.



It takes roughly 3 minutes for ntpd to correct the time after boot. I'll see this in /var/log/messages



ntpd[1512]: time reset +1.217409 s


But, by this time, our application has already started and it doesn't handle the 1-2 sec time jump very well.



Is this clock difference between the host/guest normal? Is there a way to force the ntpd to set the time earlier in the boot process?

          If your application requires the clock to be synced, add ntp-wait to its init script before it is started. Usage is simple, but here is the man page.



          EDIT: If you want to sync time as quickly as possible when booting the VM, before starting ntpd as a daemon, run sntp as explained in the documentation for Deprecating ntpdate.

          • that would work, however it takes ~3 minutes for ntpd to synchronize... which is a really long time.
