The clock of OVZ node is not accurate, but provider refuse to correct it.
One of my openvz vps's clock is several minutes later than NTP clock, so I ask the provider to correct it on the Host Node, I told them if they don't like enable NTP on the node, at least run ntpdate once,
But they refuse to correct the clock, the reason is that they have many customers on the node, not only me, so they can't correct the clock for one person,
I can't understand this logic, is this an unreasonable request? I think that keep the node's clock accurate is the most basic principle in hosting industry, don't they think so?

The provider is lame, change it.
Agreed.
Absolutely a reason to move. Who is the host?
That (and similar b/s) is the reason why you should never ever buy OpenVZ.
The host should change it. Link them here and if they still refuse to change it, move.
The provider's incompetence is not the platform's fault though.
With OpenVZ you leave a lot more avenues for the provider's incompetence to affect you.
Setting date/time is just one; enabling TUN/TAP is another; loading custom modules is yet another (such as FUSE and various iptables stuff); and then ensuring TUN/TAP and your custom modules stay that way after they reboot the node (apparently the latter is super-difficult for some providers).
That's not even going into the whole "peeking into the users' containers" glass house aspect of OVZ.
This is true, but it is still the provider's incompetence and not the platform's. I equally wouldnt want to have such a provider with Xen.

brilliant, I refuse to vaccinate anyone because then everyone would want vaccination!
Thanks everyone, the issue have been resolved
@mpkossen @Spirit please close this thread, thanks
how much the hellck they put the customers vm in that single node?!
I guess it's an overselling. get a new host.
It might be reasonable if they were to state that the correction of a time would take place within a short period of time as scheduled maintenance for this reason alone. However to not fix a known issue should not be acceptable, find a new provider.
