Hi Blažej,
Just my 2 cents:
I think Restart=on-failure is not a good default value. named.service
may fail for different reasons. If the reason is configuration failure,
I do not think it should retry many times only to result to sleep before
another retries. Until manual configuration change, this won't work. I
would not recommend using that on distribution package.
On the other hand, Restart=on-abnormal might help in few specific cases.
Sending SIGSEGV signal or occasional trigger of assertion failure would
be still catched by it and the service would be restarted. But it won't
restart when the port is already taken, address is not available or typo
in configuration were made. I think that is a good default value and I
plan it including into Fedora and later RHEL updates.
Anyway, bind9 repository does not contain any systemd unit file, so such
requests have to be directed to whatever source it were used. I admit
contributing fine tuned default service file might be good idea, I guess
differences should not be significant between distributions.
Regards,
Petr

Hi Ondrej,
sorry, I really thought it's clear enough, but as I just found, the
problem presents in releases for Ubuntu 20.04, 18.04 and maybe older
also.
It's all about the content of /lib/systemd/system/named.service
Release for Ubuntu Jammy 22.04 LTS (1:9.18.1-1ubuntu1.3) contains
"Restart=on-failure" parameter.
Releases for
Ubuntu Focal 20.04 LTS (1:9.16.1-0ubuntu2.12)
Ubuntu Bionic 18.04 LTS (1:9.11.3+dfsg-1ubuntu1.18)
and maybe older also are missing "Restart" parameter.
I found this problem with friend, when Bind9 on Ubuntu 20.04 exited
with SIGV signal and keeps down (systemd did not restart the service).
Thanks

Hi,
it might seem like we do practice black magic, but we really don’t. Thus we
can’t really help if you don’t provide more details like the content of the
file, the source of the package(s), and the version of the package(s).

Hi there,
I just discovered that default Bind9 systemd service file for Ubuntu
is missing "Restart" parameter. Is there any reason?
Service file for Debian contains "Restart=on-failure"
Thanks
