[Qemu-discuss] guest daemon reading kvmclock - not needed/ bad idea ?

[Edoardo Comar]

Hi

I dug various posts and articles on
guest time synchronization.
I could not conclude why it might be
better to use ntpd in a guest rather than a daemon that reads from kvmclock

and having NTP running on the host only.
(assuming the guest OS is a recent linux
and so the clock source is set to the paravirtualized kvm PVclock).

thanks!
