Actually, we've found the time to be kept pretty horribly on our filers, even with the timed options enabled. We see time skews of upto a few *seconds* with NetApp's implementation of NTP.
Hmm, how odd. I haven't seen that. From an F630 running 5.3.2D3:
$ grep skew mess* | awk '{print $15}' | sort -nr | head -5 +0.544 +0.205 +0.201 +0.194 +0.190 $ grep skew mess* | awk '{print $15}' | sort -n | head -5 -0.219 -0.218 -0.213 -0.212 -0.212
And from an F740 running 5.3.4R3:
$ grep skew mess* | awk '{print $15}' | sort -nr | head -5 +0.184 +0.171 +0.171 +0.170 +0.170 $ grep skew mess* | awk '{print $15}' | sort -n | head -5 -0.191 -0.103 -0.102 -0.094 -0.085
Could you have a stinko time signal?
Anyway, I like your RFE too.
