Large named.run file
Sounds like you might have started named in debug mode, which can cause large named.run
files. By default named saves debug information to /var/named/named.run
file. You can stop writing to it by disabling debug mode.
To check that your named
is running without the debug option:
ps -aux | grep named
You may get a response like this
named -d 3 -c /etc/named-master.conf
If the -d
flag exists try to restart named without it and check again
With regards to the named.run
file, it is safe to delete but you need to stop named
first.
Other useful info:
rndc notrace # will disable debug in bind
rndc reload # will reopen file handles
