'service named reload' does not work correctly when 'pid-file' is configured in named.conf

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • If parameter except for '/var/named/chroot/var/run/named/' is configured as pid-file in named.conf, 'service named reload' does not work correctly.
  • It occurs even if it is latest bind version. However, bind97 works correctly.
  • Steps to Reproduce:
    1 Add following line in named.conf.

    pid-file "data/named.pid";
    

    2 Start bind.

    # service named start
    Starting named:                                            [  OK  ]
    

    3 Reload named service.

    # service named reload
    Reloading named:                                           [FAILED]
