NTP Gone MAD
Hi all, I SSH'd into my NAS this morning because nothing seemed to working properly, several restarts, troubleshooting steps and the lot and everything seemed to configured fine but failing to work...
I had some script issues (all my backups were done in 1992 ;) ) and noticed the same thing.
Even if I switched to different netgear time servers, the time was off by an hour. I had noticed this previously but missed the daylight savings issue. I've also switched to the same time server(s) used in Windows instead.
[Edit] My back up script has been off my an hour for weeks. I don't have a specific date for when it started, but it was running an hour behind schedule. As what would seem to be a completely unrelated note, iTunes was starting to delete songs when I would sync them to my iPod. :shock: There didn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to how, but various songs would get deleted during the sync process. After resetting my time server to a source that provides the correct time (no longer off by an hour, much less in 1992!) that issue disappeared. So there is apparently something in iTunes that was being thrown off by the one hour difference between my local computer time and the netgear server time.
Go figure.
Without the "1992" issue, I never would have figured this out.
