Error writing the db file...is a link or hardlink. Will not run tokenizer on it.

What does this mean, exactly?

Error writing the db file: Error writing /var/named/voltstream.com.db : /var/named/voltstream.com.db is a link or hardlink. Will not run tokenizer on it.

Tried creating a subdomain on Voltstream.com...

Will you post here results for:

ls -ld /var/named/
ls -l /var/named/voltstream.com.db

?

Also ensure named isn't chrooted... which would be my guess as to what happened.

drwxr-x--- 5 root named 4096 Mar 26 19:22 /var/named/

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root named 46 Jun 7 2008 /var/named/voltstream.com.db -> /var/named/chroot//var/named/voltstream.com.db


?? Does this mean it's back to being chrooted? I was sure we marked the chroot yum packages as never...

[root@xxxxxx named]# ps -ax | grep named

Edit: It's working... just can't edit it. When chrooted it won't run properly, will it? (if I remember correctly it won't run at all...)

Hello,

"named -u named" means that it's not running as chrooted, but the file setup from the chroot is leftover from when it was.
