There are definitely two options: * make it works out of the box * patch the documentation I saw a FreeBSD kernel commit with kern.hz=100 modification for guest OS. But there was also an option the leave this in the documentation instead. So I realized out of the box here is OK too. BTW, --disable-timesync looks worse, than ntpd_enable="NO". Host OS can keep time better. And this is quite important, when the host OS has no Internet connection and so ntpd in the guest OS can not get proper time from remote NTP servers. -- Artem Naluzhnyy
