Yes, that's right. I had ntp enabled.
With ntp disabled the problem disappear, FS clock is exactly the same as system clock.

Thanks.

Most likely you are using something like ntp to sync your system
clock, if so you should also sync the FS clock when you change the ntp
time.

FS is keeping it's own time using the monotonic clock in the kernel
which is the same mechanism as the system time so your machine
probably keeps bad time.
