Ok. This is changed for /dev/random ... see at end the
changed start-script.

/dns/dev/random is now created.

It's already done.

It's not under / ... /dns is a symlink to /data/dns ;-)
 

Does anybody have any other hints ?

Looking at debuglog I see no error

Should I change the debug-modus? Which settings ?

logging {
  category "default" { "debug"; };
  category "general" { "debug"; };
  category "database" { "debug"; };
  category "security" { "debug"; };
  category "config" { "debug"; };
  category "resolver" { "debug"; };
  category "xfer-in" { "debug"; };
  category "xfer-out" { "debug"; };
  category "notify" { "debug"; };
  category "client" { "debug"; };
  category "unmatched" { "debug"; };
  category "network" { "debug"; };
  category "update" { "debug"; };
  category "queries" { "debug"; };
  category "dispatch" { "debug"; };
  category "dnssec" { "debug"; };
  category "lame-servers" { "debug"; };
  channel "debug" {
    file "/var/log/bind.log" versions 3 size 50m;
    print-time yes;
    print-category yes;
  };
};

Thanks in advance

Michael
