'HVFULSWLRQ
Sets the maximum allowable discrepancy between filer time and server time. If there
is a large discrepancy, it probably means that enough is wrong somewhere that the
filer time should not be synchronized with the server time, no time synchronization
takes place, and a message to that effect is sent to the console. The value is an inte-
ger followed by one of the following letters:
s for seconds
m for minutes
h for hours
The default is 30 minutes.

hourly
'HVFULSWLRQ
Schedules when to synchronize the time with a time server. The value can be one of
the following:
hourly to synchronize hourly
multihourly to synchronize every six hours
daily to synchronize every day at midnight
a number followed by m to specify an interval of minutes or h to specify an inter-
val of hours
To avoid overburdening the time server, the filer randomly selects the exact time of
the synchronization within a 20-minute window of the specified schedule.
