Re: why driftfile is not on Fedora 32 ?

[Cătălin George Feștilă <catalinfest@xxxxxxxxx>]

/var/lib/ntp/ is empty ...

I have settings for chrony ... vim /etc/chrony.conf with the line:

# Record the rate at which the system clock gains/losses time.
driftfile /var/lib/chrony/drift

[mythcat@desk ~]$ cat /var/lib/chrony/drift
          -12.876545             3.064993

About the ntp, I enable ntpd and  this is result without

[mythcat@desk ~]$ sudo dnf install ntp

Package ntp-4.2.8p15-1.fc32.x86_64 is already installed.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!

[mythcat@desk ~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release

Fedora release 32 (Thirty Two)

[mythcat@desk ~]$ systemctl status ntpd
● ntpd.service - Network Time Service
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/ntpd.service; enabled; vendor

[mythcat@desk ~]$ sudo ls /var/lib/ntp/drift
[sudo] password for mythcat:
ls: cannot access '/var/lib/ntp/drift': No such file or directory
[mythcat@desk ~]$ sudo ls /var/lib/ntp/

You can see is empty , I don't know why ...
