Subject: PROBLEM: Kernel loses time - 1 min each 10 minutes
Date: Thu, 05 Sep 2002 00:59:28 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3D76E4B0.96B525D6@georgetoft.com> (raw)
[1.] One line summary of the problem:
Kernel loses 1 minute per 10 minutes while buring CD's with xcdroast
(cdrecord).
[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
I burned several CD-Rs one night and noticed my two Linux boxes, which
sync periodically with the Navy's atomic clock, were over 30 minutes
apart. My SuSE box, with the CD-R, had lost time while burning CD-R's.
CD burning program is xcdroast, which uses cdrecord on the backend.
[3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel):
kernel, time
[4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version):
# cat /proc/version

[5.] Output of Oops.. message (if applicable) with symbolic information
resolved (see Documentation/oops-tracing.txt)

problem (if possible)
