I wanted to write "drifting away" in the header but this is not what's happening. I have an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server running some web apps. On 25.10.2014 I updated tzdata to the latest version and yesterday - 30.10.2014 - strange things began to happen. At approximately 4:30 AM server time jumped a week back - to 24.10.2014 4:42 AM. Today - 31.10.2014 - the same thing happened again. At 3:32 AM server time jumped ~24h back - to 30.10.2014 4:22 AM.

Both times I found ntpd daemon turned off. Server uptime is 10+ days. Any ideas on what might be happening or how I can trace it?

    Is this a virtual server or dedicated hardware?

  • It is virtual server, but as I found out hypervisor's time is intact.

Looks like purging ntp and installing it back again solved the case. The time hasn't jumped any more. Still don't know what was the reason of it.
