Eventually (depending on the value of max-journal-size in nf), during regular pruning, the increments using the old format will be removed.

However, this server will not be able to respond to IXFR requests for changes that were made to its zones prior to the upgrade and will send AXFR instead. On an authoritative server (primary or secondary), where named was shutdown using rndc stop and all recent changes written to the zone files first, all zones will load when named is restarted following the upgrade (the increment headers can be read during the journal file walk-through, and there is no need for named to examine the individual change records in the file).The default is flush-zones-on-shutdown no. See the Workarounds section below for potential routes for recovery of any zones in this state. jnl files are incompatible and the latest zone changes cannot be applied to bring the zone up to date. On an authoritative server (primary or secondary), where named was shutdown abruptly ( rndc halt or kill -TERM) without flushing the in-memory versions of zones to disk first, some zones on disk will not reload when named is started after upgrading because their.Several scenarios exist here are the two that we believe are most likely to be encountered: When BIND is upgraded to 9.16.12, 9.16.12-S1 or 9.17 (any version) and then started with journal (.jnl) files present that were created by earlier versions, there may be some problems encountered due to the incompatibility.

jnl file is incompatible with the versions of BIND that support the new max-ixfr-ratio option. A small change was required to the journal (.jnl) file format in order to support the calculation of an IXFR size during its preparation. Unfortunately, one feature of this change escaped our notice, both when writing the release documentation for BIND 9.17.0, and then later on, when adding the max-ixfr-ratio option to BIND 9.16.12. This feature has now been back-ported to BIND 9.16, making its debut in the 9.16.12 releases.

This sets the size threshold (expressed as a percentage of the size of the full zone) beyond which named chooses to use an AXFR response rather than IXFR when answering zone transfer requests. In BIND 9.17.0, we introduced the max-ixfr-ratio option, which is a percentage representing the ratio of IXFR size to the size of the entire zone. DNSSEC-signed zones using inline-signing will also have journal files associated with the signed version of the zone. A zone's journal file is also used to provide incremental updates (IXFRs) to other servers. This journal (.jnl) file is automatically created and maintained by named, and will be used when named is restarted after a shutdown or crash to roll-forward (replay) any zone updates that were not yet in the version of the zone on disk when named stopped.

Versions affected: BIND 9.16.12, BIND 9.16.12-S1 (Supported Preview Edition), and versions 9.17.0 -> 9.17.10 of the 9.17 development branch.Īll changes made to a zone using dynamic updates or inbound incremental zone update (IXFR) are stored in the zone's journal file.
