Hi,
Build FreeNAS-9.10.2-U1 (86c7ef5)
Platform Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5620 @ 2.40GHz
Memory 24482MB
System Time Sat Apr 29 21:12:16 AEST 2017
Guest OS
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 8.7 (jessie)
Release: 8.7
Codename: jessie
I have finally gotten around to setting up the VMs in iohyve that I used to have in a virtualbox jail. I have run into an issue with the guest time being incorrect after a reboot of the guest
The date and timezone of the FreeNAS server appear to be correct
However the date in the guest is incorrect
I can set the date on the guest, but it does not survive a reboot
I looks as if the guest's date (UTC) is being set from the local timezone (AEST) of the host & then the timezone shift is applied again
I'm guessing I can overcome this by implementing ntp on the guests, but wondering if there is something else I am missing. I am relatively new to virtualisation & do not have *NIX admin background
Appreciate any help,
Steve
