If you’re using VMWare on a variable-speed processor (like all most modern cpu’s these days) you might have noticed that sometimes the guest OS runs a lot faster (causing the guest clock to run faster and all kinds of weird effects).

The fix for that is easy, and specified in this knowledgebase article:

Add to /etc/vmware/config the following lines:

host.cpukHz = 1700000
host.noTSC = TRUE
ptsc.noTSC = TRUE

replacing 1700000 with the actual top speed of your processor. Et voila, runs better ;)

I run Proxmox Virtual Environment as my virtualisation platform. On top of this I use virtual machines using KVM and Linux Containers using LXC - both of which are natively supported on ProxmoxVE.
