[libvirt-users] ntpd in VM

I was taught in kitty school that running a ntp server in a vm was a bad idea. Is that still the case?

Hi, It is still a bad idea. I invite you to read here for the reasons why: http://serverfault.com/a/106509/150152 Cheers, On 09/12/2014 12:51 PM, Mauricio Tavares wrote:

While I agree that running a time server in a VM is, at best, problematic, most of those nay-sayers have experience with VMware, xen and the like. Those aren't the only hypervisors out there, and the decision process should depend upon the hypervisor (to a significant degree), not just the idea of "can I do this in a VM?" Not all hypervisors are created equally. On Fri, Sep 12, 2014 at 7:14 AM, Pierre Schweitzer <pierre@reactos.org> wrote:
