Re: Debugging Information Lacking?
Frak, so I was looking for the wrong file name the whole time. I must have
latched on to the wrong one and then ran with it.
If the logging captured the path and name of the file it was writing, I
probably would have noticed my error the first time around.

the default file name is named_dump.db
If your named.conf has this bit
options {
directory "/var/cache/bind";
# working directory
then "rndc dumpdb -zones" creates the file /var/cache/bind/named_dump.db
If your named.conf has this bit
options {
dump-file "/tmp/cache_dump.db";
then "rndc dumpdb -zones" creates the file /tmp/cache_dump.db

Yes, it would be nice if that was added

Re: Debugging Information Lacking?
Look in the BIND ARM for dump-file: dump-file The pathname of the file the server dumps the database to when instructed to do so with rndc dumpdb. If not specified, the default is named_dump.db.

Debugging Information Lacking?
I have some other issues that I'm trying to work through, but I wanted to ask about a specific issue. I'm trying to see what BIND currently thinks all of the zones are, so I issue the "rndc dumpdb -zones" command. I get the following output: Nov 27 07:36:26 DNA-DNS1 named[20035]: received control channel command 'trace 99' Nov 27 07:36:26 DNA-DNS1 named[20035]: debug level is now 99 Nov 27 07:36:28 DNA-DNS1 named[20035]: received control channel command 'dumpdb -zones' Nov 27 07:36:28 DNA-DNS1 named[20035]: dumpdb started: -zones Nov 27 07:36:28 DNA-DNS1 named[20035]: dumpdb complete However, it appears no file is generated. "find / -name cache_dump.db" doesn't return anything. The log says that dumpdb is complete, but it doesn't say what it wrote. I would expect the log file to say something like: Nov 27 07:36:28 DNA-DNS1 named[20035]: dumpdb output to: /var/lib/bind/ cache_dump.db It doesn't. Could we get that added to the logging information? root@DNA-DNS1:/var/lib/bind# named -v BIND 9.10.3-P4-Debian root@DNA-DNS1:/var/lib/bind# cat /etc/debian_version 9.11 - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ___ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
