Can you show "systemctl status openvpn-server@first.service" and
"systemctl status openvpn-server@second.service", both before and after
the restart?
Actually, the whole directory seems to be removed as it gets a new
inode number. Note that first I have to completely restart "first"
and then restart "second".
This is the complete sequence of commands I ran, including the
requested information.
# ls -di /run/openvpn-server
13067 /run/openvpn-server
# ls /run/openvpn-server
status-first.log status-second.log
# systemctl status openvpn-server@first.service
