Package: bind9 Version: 1:9.9.5.dfsg-8 Severity: important Tags: patch
I'm running current Jessie's Debian except for the kernel which is a 3.10.69 kernel on a mips based router (http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/arcadyan/arv7519) the machine doesn't have floating point so I'm running with floating point emulated. All the services I'm running on Debian run Ok (including apache, postfix, squid3, isc-dhcp-server, ...) but bind9 hangs after some time, the time doesn't seem to follow any pattern, it can be from less than 10 minutos to some hours (not many, not a full day). Tying to see what happens with this problem I came around this forum: http://community.ubnt.com/t5/EdgeMAX/How-To-Install-BIND-DNS-Server-on-EdgeRouter/td-p/558349/page/3 a message from napsterbater that points to: https://lists.isc.org/pipermail/bind-users/2008-August/072137.html on wich people suggests to use --disable-atomic to solve crashes. I have to explain that my bind doesn't crash, it just hangs without replying to queries or to a reload or stop command issued from the init.d script. However as I didn't have any better solution I tried the --disable-atomic way. To do this I just added to the rules file after the kfreebsd exception this code: ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_ARCH),mips) EXTRA_FEATURES=--disable-atomic endif And rebuilt bind9's packages with this code on our rules. This build has been in production for more than 27 hours without problems, so It seem that the atomic fix is working. There might be some other ways to solve this problem, if so and you need some testing, please let me know.
