Time is lagging substantially on Netgear ReadyNAS RN102 and RN104 (no replies)

Hi bodhi,

The clock is running about 10% too slowly on Netgear ReadyNAS RN102 and RN104.

Below the transcript of the following test: My hosts 'rn104' and 'stora' share the same router and local network. Time and date on 'rn104' is synced with 'stora' using 'ssh'. 60 s later (on its own clock) 'rn104' is lagging 6 to 7 s:

tme@nr104:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/ntp stop && sudo date -s "$(ssh stora date -R)" && date -R && sleep 60 && hostname; date -R && ssh stora 'hostname;date -R'
Stopping NTP server: ntpd.

Once more:

tme@nr104:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/ntp stop && sudo date -s "$(ssh stora date -R)" && date -R && sleep 60 && hostname; date -R && ssh stora 'hostname;date -R'
Stopping NTP server: ntpd.

Is the input clock frequency given correctly in the dts file? The input clock frequency is specified here by Arnaud Ebalard, the original author of the dts file, but this is, of course, not really an authoritative source. Netgear ReadyNAS RN102 has the same flaw as the RN104.
