Created attachment 457096 [details, diff] patch to add bind to /run in ${CHROOT}/run Occasionally named fail to restart after system crash if it running chrooted. The named pid file is stored in ${CHROOT}/run/named/named.pid that not is bind to /run or is not a tmpfs. If system crash occurred none clean pid file at boot. If at the moment of start bind there is an other process whit old named pid it's fail to start with: start-stop-daemon: /usr/sbin/named is already running To reproduce (simulate) this issue follow this steps: 1. stop named and create a ${CHROOT}/run/named/named.pid with an possible pid (eg. an daemon stat before named or an kernel thread 2. restart system At restart named fail to star whit this message: this messages * Starting chrooted named ... * Mounting chroot dirs * Checking named configuration ... [ ok ] * start-stop-daemon: /usr/sbin/named is already running [ !! ] * ERROR: named failed to start An fix to this problem is to bind ${CHROOT}/run to /run in named init script. I attach an patch to init file to bind /run
