== Chrony ==
== storaged replaces udisks2 ==


Fedora 16 uses '''Chrony''' as the default Network Time Protocol (NTP) client. '''Chrony''' is designed to work well even on systems with no permanent network connection (such as laptops), and is capable of much faster time synchronisation than standard ntp. '''Chrony''' has several advantages when used in systems running on virtual machines, such as a larger range for frequency correction to help correct quickly drifting clocks, and better response to rapid changes in the clock frequency. It also has a smaller memory footprint and no unnecessary process wakeups, improving power efficiency.
The `udisks2` package provides dynamic storage management functionality to legacy Fedora systems. Most prominently, desktop environments like GNOME udisks to handle removable media, such as USB thumb drives, via a dbus interface.


== HAL Removal ==
Because udisks2 does not support more complex storage technologies such as LVM or iSCSI, it is being replaced in Fedora 25 by `storaged`, an enhanced fork of the udisks project.  `storaged` is a drop-in replacement for `udisks2`, and the additional functionality allows administrators to use software like `Cockpit` in Fedora Server to manage these advanced storage resources.


Fedora 16 does not ship with the '''HAL''' daemon and '''libhal''', which have been replaced with '''udisks''', '''upower''' and '''libudev'''. If a specific application require libhal to function, please file a bug against it to be ported to the new technology.  
Detailed information on the storaged project is available from the upstream site at https://storaged.org .

storaged replaces udisks2

The udisks2 package provides dynamic storage management functionality to legacy Fedora systems. Most prominently, desktop environments like GNOME udisks to handle removable media, such as USB thumb drives, via a dbus interface.

Because udisks2 does not support more complex storage technologies such as LVM or iSCSI, it is being replaced in Fedora 25 by storaged, an enhanced fork of the udisks project. storaged is a drop-in replacement for udisks2, and the additional functionality allows administrators to use software like Cockpit in Fedora Server to manage these advanced storage resources.

Detailed information on the storaged project is available from the upstream site at https://storaged.org .
