Hi all,
I'm running kvm-77 and windows xp as guest. When I start the
defragmentation of the virtualized drive within the windows guest (well
this is not a fine way, but it should work :-)), the real time clock starts
hanging - I recognized that because some underlying hardware with own
timers began to run out of synchronization. I did some research, took a
stopwatch and measured against the system time. During the measurement of ~
30 seconds I got a difference to the linux time (I just called "watch -n 1
date" which should come from the mainboard system time, doesn't it?) of ~10
seconds! This was the biggest difference I could measure, sometimes it was
a little bit less.
What's happening here? I reduced the io priority and the guest process
priority to a very low one - it didn't help!
Oh - I'm running the stuff on an Intel Core2Duo T5600 @ 1.83GHz with 2 Gig
of RAM (Windows gets 1.5 Gig), the disk is an SATA with 40 Gigs.
Best regards,
Erik
