You mentioned previously that you are using a read only
partition in which case I cannot see how you can run ntpd.

Can you explain the partition layout?

What operating system exactly?

Ntpd writes to its drift file and also ntp.log. The drift file
is critical and is used and updated at intervals by ntpd.

eg. from one of my systems:
   $ cat /var/db/ntp/ntp.drift
   -49.237
