IDE NEC DVD-RW ND-2501A (/dev/sr0)
same deviation, offset tons of seconds
this is the production, time must remain correct
Burning CD/DVD with IDE burners,
there not exist SCSI burners,
similar retards of the system clock.
CD using cdrecord, DVD growisofs.
Doing hwclock --show, time is always correct.
Not in LKML, cc if you need, and ... thanks

PS We burn DVD only since 2 weeks,
before only CD and only on the SCSI machine,
and ... NO PROBLEM.
Hi,
I have also seen such offsets on some boxes running at EADS (a Compaq
Proliant [<-- this one has a very small offset] and a no name machine
[<-- this one is terrible in 10 minutes 2-3 minutes too fast]). I have
no numbers at the moment.
If you need some more information please contact me.
I tried to fix this issue also, but haven't found any solution. Both
servers are running SuSE Linux I think on 8.x (2.4 kernel). I don't know
at the moment if we tried already an update to 2.6 kernel.
For the moment our fix is a 10 minute cronjob which execute
hwclock --hctosys
because hardware clock is running correct.
A fix or a hint whats wrong would be very nice :-).
Cheers,
Michael Obster
