<div dir="ltr"><div><div>thanks alex... fair enough; <br><br> but how could metadata for a distributed file possibly vary across a cluster? is that expected behaviour.<br><br></div>I guess it tells you that the metadata for the file is not aquired from any single location, but rather its determined and stored and maintained separately by different machines, and so if one machines time is off, it wont share the same view of the file as others. <br>
<br></div>so i guess im wondering if thats a bug ? or maybe a feature and i just dont realize it yet :) ?<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Oct 24, 2013 at 3:37 PM, Alex Chekholko <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:chekh@stanford.edu" target="_blank">chekh@stanford.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br>

It's super easy to do these days, just installing the ntp package with whatever your distribution default settings should do the trick.<br>
<br>
e.g. 'aptitude install ntp' on Debian/Ubuntu<br>

If you have to choose NTP servers, just use <a href="http://pool.ntp.org" target="_blank">pool.ntp.org</a><br>

FYI, these two machines are not clock synchronized, but -- should that<br>
