Any one have any thoughts on why our servers in our data center keep time drifting?
It's fairly usual for them to drift every month or so by a few mins, which then manifests it's self in us not being able to SSH into the machines...
But yesterday a lot of the servers where suspiciously exactly 10mins out of sync with the NTP server.
We did all the usual checks and all seems to be in order. A manual sync with the NTP server gets everything back in line....
Most of our servers are KVM hosts.
I'm doing a Google around now to see if I can find an answer but I'm no NTP expert.
Maybe someone has some experience?
Thanks
