      Is this a full install? Any fsck log entries in system log?

        Yes, full x86 install.

        You'll have to forgive me, I'm very green with bsd. Can you explain what I should be looking for with fsck? Or should I run fsck?

          Look at the system logs. Search for fsck entries.

            @hypnoticpancake:

            you might want to try opening a bug report around it.  It looks like unbound is all there but the user wasn't created sometime in the past, so you could try creating the user (no guarantee it will work and run it at your own risk):
            pw adduser unbound -g unbound -d /var/unbound -s /usr/sbin/nologin -c "Unbound DNS Resolver"

            As I have the same problem with unbound on 2.2.1 atm. I tried yours but pfsense gives back that the group 'unbound' does not exist

              You really need to read the whole thread and answer what's asked there, instead of posting "me too".

                So, when there is no fsck entry in neither of the the logs what shall I search for?

                  I don't have any fsck entries.

                    did you verify all the other settings?

                    if you did you will need to add the group before hand, again this is really just hand jamming stuff, i'd recommend a bug report and no guarantee that this will work:
                    pw groupadd unbound
                    pw adduser unbound -g unbound -d /var/unbound -s /usr/sbin/nologin -c "Unbound DNS Resolver"

                      Yes,
                      /usr/local/sbin/unbound
                      /var/unbound/unbound.conf
                      exist but there is no entry in the passwd file.

                      Well, finally it's weekend now for me, so no access to the firewall anyway, I might open such a bug report tomorrow.

                      Have a nice weekend =)
