- pmontra 5y agoI second that but unfortunately they implemented only the basic functionality. I quote https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/464729 https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/464729 > systemd-timesyncd does no clock discipline: the clock is not trained or compensated, and internal clock drift over time is not reduced. It has rudimentary logic to adjust poll interval but without disciplining the host will end up with uneven time forever as systemd-timesyncd pushes or pulls at whatever interval it thinks the near-term drift requires. It also can't assess the quality of the remote time source. You're unlikely to get accuracy much greater than 100ms. This is sufficient for simple end user devices like laptops, but it could definitely cause problems for distributed systems that want greater time precision.
