Re: [tor-relays] What could cause a huge clock skew (9 days) across Tor restarts - anyone else experienced something like this?

So, Tor had the time Sep 06 21:03:46.000 before restart.

After restart, it thought it had Aug 28 07:40:07.000 and then Aug 28 07:40:08.000 and then it healed and reported Sep 06 21:04:50.000.

This is kind of odd. What could be the reason for this? The server is just a Debian machine that runs Tor and nothing else.

Sounds like a bug in Tor's wallclock or log modules. Or a problem with your OS time APIs.

What version/commit of Tor were you running before and after the upgrade? What time did your OS show when this issue happened?

Can you please post all the logs from Tor's shutdown, startup with the wrong time, and correct time, and then a few more entries?
