Unbound errors after upgrade to 23.09. Unbound fails to start

pfBo

Hi all,

After upgrading to pfSense 23.09 I see the following errors in the logs:

2023-11-07 15:47:02.374257+01:00 unbound 32496 [32496:0] fatal error: failed to setup modules
2023-11-07 15:47:02.374248+01:00 unbound 32496 [32496:0] error: module init for module validator failed
2023-11-07 15:47:02.374238+01:00 unbound 32496 [32496:0] error: validator: could not apply configuration settings.
2023-11-07 15:47:02.374228+01:00 unbound 32496 [32496:0] error: validator: error in trustanchors config
2023-11-07 15:47:02.374210+01:00 unbound 32496 [32496:0] error: error reading auto-trust-anchor-file: /var/unbound/root.key
2023-11-07 15:47:02.374186+01:00 unbound 32496 [32496:0] error: failed to read /root.key
2023-11-07 15:47:02.372190+01:00 unbound 32496 [32496:0] notice: init module 0: validator

Unbound creates a new empty root.key:

-rw-r--r-- 1 unbound unbound 0 Nov 7 15:47 root.key

Also when changing the config I'm seeing errors in the GUI:

*The following input errors were detected:

The generated config file cannot be parsed by unbound. Please correct the following errors:
/var/unbound/test/unbound_server.pem: No such file or directory
[1699368775] unbound-checkconf[76221:0] fatal error: server-cert-file: "/var/unbound/test/unbound_server.pem" does not exist*

If I copy the missing file from /var/unbound to /var/unbound/test it gets deleted (same as root.key).

Has anyone seen this error before? And if so how did you fix it?

Best regards,

Bo

Problem solved. Disk was full....

Took me a few minutes to figure that one out...
