Hello -<br>

Trying to run a 64bit DF guest on F18, am getting<br>
some odd clock jitter both with and without dntpd<br>

I seem to recall having similar issues with DF-on-DF<br>
QEMU on dragonfly, and my 'fix' was to noodle with<br>
the emulated time source on QEMU, falling back to a low<br>
resolution clock source (e.g. RTC instead of HPET)<br>
that the emulator could more deterministically provide,<br>
allowing clock calibration to be less sensitive,<br>
and the system to run without much significant clock<br>
jitter..<br>
<br>
However, I'm not seeing any clear signs that<br>
the libvirt/KVM stuff allows this level of noodling,<br>
though I admittedly haven't done an exhaustive search.<br>
<br>
Anyone have any experiences / fixes here?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
