I'm not sure it's reasonable to adjust service startups. Following that logic, every package would have to start after ntp.service, and there should be a more general solution to that problem.
Can MySQL be adjusted to be a little more robust to the time changing when it is idle? I understand that in the general case this isn't really solvable though, which is exactly why ntp skews time. It is essential to have the system time on a server correct, and I don't think every case of things screwing up are reasonable to fix. It is reasonable to improve robustness if a fix is trivial, though. ** Changed in: mysql-5.7 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1600164 Title: Mysql server take 10 minutes to stop without message after time drift To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.7/+bug/1600164/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
