Answer

  • A temporary NTP loss and subsequent time jump (e.g. 3 minutes) does not cause I/O interruption, fail-safe activation, or system panic.
  • The main impacts are:
    • Discontinuous timestamps in logs, audit, and monitoring data.
    • Temporary authentication or monitoring inconsistencies with external systems due to time skew.
