I have problems with the permissions of the "/dev/shm/FTL-*" files. After reboot they are set to "root:root" and pihole works just for a short time and then stops resolving DNS queries with "Lost connection to API" on the web-UI. I have to manually chown the files to "pihole:pihole" and restart the service for the server to work reliably. Also all query data is lost every time I reboot the system or restart the pihole-FTL.service. Does anyone has a solution?
EDIT: Still have that problem. Can someone please tell me the standard permissions for /dev/shm/FTL-* ? I do not know if they have to be root:root. All problems are gone when I chown them to pihole:pihole and restart pihole-FTL.service.
Edit2: Can someone please tell me the output of "ls -l /dev/shm/FTL-*"?

ArchLinux Pi-hole is not officially supported by Pi-hole project. In case of bugs and malfunctions please DO NOT file a report upstream.
First of all check if the wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pi-hole) can help then ask here for assistance and tips.
When it will be excluded that the problem does not depend on ArchLinux we will file a bug upstream.
