Hi, Do you by any chance use ixfr-from-differences or automatic DNSSEC signing? Unless you use IXFR, DDNS or anything mentioned above, they certainly shouldn't be required. If it is, it's a bug. I'm a little reluctant to add an another config option, but I have added it to the config file ideas page at our wiki: https://gitlab.labs.nic.cz/labs/knot/wikis/config-changes That being said, 'storage' directory is for temporary or server-created data (journals or slave zones). You're free to place master zone files wherever you like (like subdirectory of the storage or anywhere on the disk and use full path to specify zone file location). That would (maybe) fix the aforementioned issue?
