@dfc - this can happen when a VM is paused and then later resumed, there are other situations where it can happen too.slm– slm ♦2013-09-28 00:51:51 +00:00Commented Sep 28, 2013 at 0:51

@slm "develops" means aone time jump in the skew after VM restart? It seems that within a couple of hours after restart ntpd should get the skew under control. Definitely not make it worse. What are the other situations?dfc– dfc2013-09-28 01:02:05 +00:00Commented Sep 28, 2013 at 1:02

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
