<pre>Hello,
I've been looking for a way to disable that many log entries for timesyncd.
Since I'm running my system from a USB flash drive, I'd like to keep the
logging very slim to ease on the drive wear. Currently timesyncd writes
excessive logs all the time, for instance :
Aug 28 04:26:03 pogo systemd-timesyncd[105]: interval/delta/delay/jitter/drift
2048s/+0.001s/0.066s/0.002s/+27ppm
Aug 28 05:00:11 pogo systemd-timesyncd[105]: interval/delta/delay/jitter/drift
2048s/-0.002s/0.061s/0.003s/+26ppm
Aug 28 05:34:19 pogo systemd-timesyncd[105]: interval/delta/delay/jitter/drift
2048s/+0.002s/0.066s/0.002s/+27ppm
Aug 28 06:08:27 pogo systemd-timesyncd[105]: interval/delta/delay/jitter/drift
2048s/-0.002s/0.063s/0.003s/+26ppm
Compared to rest of the entries this results as 80% of all daily logs.
There are no specific options for timesyncd to be set. This bug report seems
similar to 86292 (<a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_RESOLVED bz_closed"
title="RESOLVED NOTABUG - RFE: systemd-timesyncd: Do not save clock to disk on every NTP fix"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=86292">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86292</a>), but the
fix posted there doesn't resolve the logging entries. An option to limit or
perhaps disable logging would be very beneficial.</pre>
