Re: [Xen-users] clocksource/0: Time went backwards

[Gareth Bult <gareth@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Based on my experiences so far I'm at a loss as to why "xen" ever appears as a 
clock source, it just seems to make Xen instances totally unreliable.

I always add "clock=jiffies" to my "extra" line in DomU's config files ...

If someone can explain the difference between clocks and why Xen is the default 
and why it doesn't work I would be very grateful ...

Gareth.

Hi Bart, hi guys,

I've to fetch this issue again, because I'm encountering nearly the same 
problem.

Does this fix the problem in the long term? Where did you set this, on 
dom0 or on domUs or in all of them?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Jan
