There is a new pull request by travankor against master on the void-packages repository https://github.com/travankor/void-packages chrony https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/15936 chrony: fix wrong option in the default config. The current option rtcfile in the default config conflicts with runit's stage 3 shutdown script. The stage 3 script calls hwclock -w, while chronyd in RTC mode wants to take control of /dev/rtc to measure RTC drift. Furthermore the default chronyd runit service does not take advantage of the Linux RTC functionality with the -s option. See for more info: https://chrony.tuxfamily.org/faq.html#_i_want_to_use_code_chronyd_code_s_rtc_support_must_i_disable_code_hwclock_code To maintain compatibility with the stage 3 shutdown, switch rtcfile to the rtcsync option. Example config file #1 already sets the correct options that work out of the box so use that example file instead of editing the annotated one. Example config file #3 will instead be installed to /usr/share/examples. A patch file from https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/15936.patch is attached
