Hi all

I assume everyone has read the reports about the mess connected to the
announcement of a leap second and bugs in Linux and Java. Anyway,
reports suggest that the calls of adjtimex by ntpd, related to the leap
second announcement, made the Linux kernel hang in heavy load conditions.

My question is: would that have happened if the kernel discipline was
disabled with "disable kernel"?

Thanks in advance

Ciao
