Description Andrew J. Schorr 2017-01-17 17:45:58 UTC

Description of problem:
The unbound-anchor.timer updates the file /var/lib/systemd/timers/stamp-unbound-anchor.timer, so shouldn't that be noted in /etc/rwtab.d/unbound, for example?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
unbound-libs-1.4.20-28.el7.x86_64


How reproducible:
Enable unbound and notice that /var/lib/systemd/timers/stamp-unbound-anchor.timer is touched every 24 hours.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install unbound unbound-libs
2. systemctl start unbound.service
3. notice that /var/lib/systemd/timers/stamp-unbound-anchor.timer is touched every 24 hours

Actual results:
Not in /etc/rwtab.d/unbound

Expected results:
File should be in /etc/rwtab.d/unbound

Hello.

As far as I can tell, the file must be created by systemd as a side effect of running timer units. I noticed, that the /var/lib/systemd/timers/ directory contains also files for other timer units. I think the directory itself should be in rwtab and the configuration should be rather shipped by systemd.

Note that the file is not created by Unbound directly.

Comment 3 Andrew J. Schorr 2017-01-18 13:30:40 UTC

Agreed. Thanks for fixing the component.

After consulting this with lnykryn, we decided it would be best addressed in initscripts: https://github.com/fedora-sysv/initscripts/pull/65

Comment 7 Lukáš Nykrýn 2017-03-09 11:11:17 UTC

We just need to backport: https://github.com/fedora-sysv/initscripts/commit/73f52775e7c92c7428759d6d41b2d39bcce541ab
