RPI 4 Chrony Time Sync Question

Hi,

I got an rpi 4 a couple days ago and installed centos 8 on it. It has chrony installed and every time I reboot it I see chrony resync time with NTP for huge gap, as below:

Code: Select all

messages:Jun 22 07:11:53 raspberrypi chronyd[243]: chronyd version 3.5 starting (+CMDMON +NTP +REFCLOCK +RTC +PRIVDROP +SCFILTER +SIGND +ASYNCDNS +SECHASH +IPV6 +DEBUG)
messages:Jun 22 07:11:53 raspberrypi chronyd[243]: Frequency 9.872 +/- 2.851 ppm read from /var/lib/chrony/drift
messages:Jun 22 07:11:53 raspberrypi chronyd[243]: Using right/UTC timezone to obtain leap second data
messages:Jul 22 22:16:03 raspberrypi chronyd[243]: Selected source 74.6.168.73
messages:Jul 22 22:16:03 raspberrypi chronyd[243]: System clock TAI offset set to 37 seconds
messages:Jul 22 22:16:03 raspberrypi chronyd[243]: System clock wrong by 65804627.505400 seconds, adjustment started
messages:Jul 22 22:16:03 raspberrypi chronyd[243]: System clock was stepped by 65804627.505400 seconds
And every time it starts from Jun 22, 2018, 07:11:53. Does chrony read some initial timestamp from somewhere? Can it also be synced?

I understand if we shutdown rpi for a while then there will be a gap. but how come it always load the 2018 date?

Thanks!
