Did I say it is happening in production? I think I didn't, because it is a copy to test the upgrade, production is still running OK with 9.6.

It happened because such config was leading to bugs, but instead of fixing the bugs, the whole feature was prohibited. Hardlinks is not a solution. I do not care about additional disk space, what I care about is the need to have two configs with different file names (again the case with hardlinks) instead of one as it was with 9.6 -- Konstantin Stefanov, Research Computing Center M.V Lomonosov Moscow State University _______________________________________________ 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
