Hi all
I set up a small dhcp/dns and firewall device using a hp thinclient T620, 8GB Ram, 128 GB SSD. Firewall starts, dhcp starts and servers ip’s to clients, but named won’t start:
systemctl start named
Job for named.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status named.service" and "journalctl -xeu named.service" for details.

I am puzzled about “stdio.c:29: unexpected error:”, “unable to convert errno to isc_result: 30: Read-only file system” and “isc_stdio_open ‘/var/lib/zoneupdates’”. So starting from the end I did:
cd /var
find -name zoneupdates
which indeed returns nothing, while on a leap 15.4 equivalent returned:
cd /var
find -name zoneupdates
./lib/named/log/zoneupdates
So on the t620 I did:
mkdir -p /var/lib/named/log
touch /var/lib/named/log/zoneupdates
chown -R named.named /var/lib/named/log
systemctl start named

Still same error, but stupid me: “/var/lib/zoneupdates” is certainly not “/var/lib/named/log/zoneupdates”. So I changed that and now named starts w/o errors.
Thought, my odyssey might help someone else, too.
