Hello Knot developers,
I've added some zones to my Knot configuration like this:
zones {
example.com {
file
example.com;
xfr-in master;
notify-in master;
}
}
After Knot has started up, I see the following files in the storage
directory:
example.com
example.com.db
example.com.db.crc
example.com.diff.db
I see that Knot keeps a copy of the zone in a compiled form. Why does it
also dump the plain text zone?
This would be okay for a small number of zones, but if I want to load a
few thousand zones, then all those plain text copies of the zone files
will take up unnecessary space on the disk. I tried to turn off the
plain text copy by removing the "file example.com" config line, but then
Knot created a file called "example.com..zone" (yes, with two dots) to
keep a plain text copy of the zone anyway.
Is it possible to turn off this plain text dump of the zone?
Regards,
Anand
