SOLVED Time issues - Dashboard vs. GUI>System>General vs. Console

[JV9]

I've read through several "my clock is wrong" threads and have a case that may not have been discussed yet?

TrueNAS-12.0-U8.1
SUPERMICRO X10SDV-4C+-TLN4F-O

The clock is wrong (off by ~24 minutes) on the Dashboard > System Information > Uptime

The clock is correct under System > General > Time format (Time zone is also set correctly on this screen)

The clock is wrong (off by ~24 minutes) on the console.

All Jail clocks are wrong - makes sense since console is wrong.

Debian VM clock is correct.

NTP servers are configured out of the box eg. 0.freebsd.pool.ntp.org, 1.freebsd.pool.ntp.org, 2.freebsd.pool.ntp.org

ntpq -p remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ============================================================================== ntp6.doctor.com 50.205.244.30 2 u 46 64 377 12.120 +418841 323636. t1.time.gq1.yah 98.137.249.214 2 u 1 64 377 22.909 +419335 324636. LAX.CALTICK.NET 161.222.63.210 2 u 44 64 377 15.803 +418863 323028.

NTP is disabled in the motherboard IPMI - I'm not clear on if this just uses NTP to set the bios clock once, or keeps it in sync? Never had a server with IPMI capabilities before..

Can anyone get me on the right track to consistent time?

SOLVED - System is going back in time (wrong date)

Hi guys! Here I am with this new weird issue. I am running FreeNAS 11.3-U3.1 (updating now to U3.2) and my system suddenly goes back in time. I experienced this looking at some files modification dates and I realized the date was off by 7 days and few hours. I had a look at the NTP servers...

Thank you for the very fast reply!

It may be a bit too soon to confirm that this was the solution, but choosing HPET over the (default?) TSC seems to have done the trick. I'll test more over the next couple of days and update this thread and mark it solved.

In my case, my Plex jail began having all sorts of issues playing content yesterday - music files wouldn't load, movies would just stop playback in the middle, and I couldn't find anything in the Plex logs pointing to the issue.

I have a scanner hooked up via USB passthrough to my Debian VM and run Vuescan on it and just by chance I noticed that a scan I did today had the wrong timestamp so began looking into it.

This server and all jails & VMs have been rock solid since installing almost exactly a year ago.

Anyway, thanks again, you saved me a ton of hair pulling!

Almost 12 hours later, no drift & accurate time.

SOLVED!
