Public bug reported:
"rndc dumpdb" returns before the output is written to named_dump.db.
This causes any script trying to operate on the generated file work on
an incomplete dataset.
My use of the feature is as follows. The following returns varying results on
each invocation:
ssh root@<nameserver> rndc dumpdb -zones '&&' cat /var/cache/bind/named_dump.db
The following returns the expected output:
ssh root@<nameserver> rndc dumpdb -zones '&&' sleep 5 '&&' cat
/var/cache/bind/named_dump.db
Expected behaviour:
The dump is actually complete with the termination of the rndc process, so that
error-prone mechanics such as calibrated delays or checks for the terminator
marker are unnecessary.
