I&#8217;m used to Fedora putting BIND in a chroot&#8217;d jail. Fedora 11 seems to eschew actually doing this, but provides the \/var\/named\/chroot directory hierarchy as if the jail still exists.

It took me a couple of hours to sort\u00a0everything out, and my current solution is a bit clumsy, but seems to work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are other awkward aspects, such as the need for a \/boot ext3 partition when trying to use ext4 for the rest of the filesystems, but these are adequately documented in the release notes, so not big problems for me.<\/p>\n<p>I put Fedora 11 on my primary mail\/web\/DNS server yesterday, and all seems OK so far.
