          @n8it said in pfSense 2.50 snapshots have been dying for the past couple of days:

          2021-01-21 04:43:35.149002+00:00 unbound 66192 [66192:0] info: service stopped (unbound 1.13.0).
          2021-01-21 04:42:07.648917+00:00 unbound 66192 [66192:0] info: start of service (unbound 1.13.0).

          What/who is restarting unbound ? Check other logs, like DHCP.
          How often does it restart.

          Btw : the unbound log sequence you showed is the normal one for stop and start : on stop it dumps some stats for every internal thread.

          No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
          Edit : and where are the logs ??

            For me it is just this log line: Jan 21 06:45:09 kernel pid 5252 (unbound), jid 0, uid 59: exited on signal 11
            Nothing in unbound logs or anywhere else.

              If it still exists, and is checked : uncheck

                DHCP logs do show DHCP is sending a HUP to DNS daemon. It happens more than 12 times a day. Thanks for telling me to check.

                    Thanks for the tip now to find root cause...

                      it looks like dhcp tries to restart the unbound service because of a new dhcp lease but unbound does not start again.

                      if I enter this

                       kill -1 `cat /var/run/unbound.pid`

                      in the comandline on my production system unbound restarts on the 2.5 snapshot unbound dies and doesn't start again.

                      can anyone confirm this?

                          it looks like dhcp tries to restart the unbound

                          dhcp == the DHCP client, running on a WAN type interface to get a WAN IP from an upstream DHCP server, like your ISP router, or your ISP.
                          dhcpd is a server type app that receive DHCP requests from dhcp clients on your LAN.
                          I presume that your dhcp is the dhcpd process.

                          Ins't

                          kill -1 `cat /var/run/unbound.pid`

                          just killing it ? It's not a 'restart' command.

                          Also, check if the PID, the integer in the file is actually the PID of the running instance of unbound.

                          ps ax   | grep 'unbound'

                          to see how many unbound instances are running, and if the PID corresponds.

                          If the dhcpd is restarting unbound to often, set up unbound to ignore new DHCP leases - this works well with 2.4.5-p1.

                            yes i mean the dhcpd process. the problem is not that dhpcd restarts unbound too often.

                            if I understand the code correctly https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/blob/devel/sysutils/dhcpleases/files/dhcpleases.c

                            	syslog(LOG_INFO, "Sending HUP signal to dns daemon(%u)", pidno);
	if (kill((pid_t)pidno, SIGHUP) < 0)
		syslog(LOG_ERR,
		    "Could not deliver signal HUP to process %d: %m.", pidno)

                            it will send kil -HUP (kill -1 is the same as HUP) to unobund but i dont find where unbound is startet after that again.

                            this works in version 2.4.5 without problems because unbound just starts again when you do a kill -HUP but not in 2.5 since the update to unbound 1.13

                              Perhaps there is something specific to your unbound configuration that is making it happen (custom options? pfblocker? python module?)

                              Try to narrow it down more.

                                Hummmm. Sounds great.
                                For my own curiosity, I'll check upon unbound's source what's its doing with a HUP. The "2.4.5p1 version" = 1.10.1 wa simply restarting itself. This could have - now very known - consequences.

                                This is a strong signal for me to try 2.5.0.xxxxx

                                And true : it's not only "dhcpleases"that can restart unbound.
                                If dhcpleases still exists under 2.5.0....
                                And if so, is it sending a HUP to unbound ?
                                Etc.

                                  There are many things looking forward to in 2.5 ;) But I am just going to wait til release. I am going to go with clean install.. Since going to take the opportunity of moving my sg4860 to zfs..

                                  But yeah unbound updates, able to do dhcp registrations without issues will be big for many users. I personally am looking forward to the openssl update and gui using tls 1.3.. Plus many more.. 2.5 has lots of good stuff in it..

                                  Was just looking over the release notes again - hadn't noticed the usb tethering.. So seems be easy enough to plug my IPhone in and have network wide internet... That will be slick on power outages.. Where my network is still up via UPS.. Or when ISP goes out..

                                  Yeah 2.5 looks very nice.. Well worth the wait ;)

                                    @gertjan Did you ever figure this out? I just updated to 2.5.0-RELEASE and started having this issue (DNS was completely stable before the update). I've resorted to having Service Watchdog restart it when it goes down as a temporary measure.

                                    I do not have "Enable registration of DHCP client names in DNS." enabled for either DHCP or DHCPv6.

                                        I have both "Register DHCP leases in the DNS Resolver" and "Register DHCP static mappings in the DNS Resolver" enabled

                                          @fry-kun Ah, I have both of those settings enabled too. I was thinking "Enable registration of DHCP client names in DNS" was what the above posters were referring to but I was mistaken.

                                          The issue certainly seems to be DHCP-related. I had 4 crashes in a 10 minute span and then upped the DHCP lease time from 15 minutes to 6 hours and haven't seen any crashes yet (though I would expect a few in a few hours once the initial 6hr leases expire and get renewed). You may wish to increase your lease time as well just to help reduce the crash frequency.

                                            though I would expect a few in a few hours once the initial 6hr leases expire and get renewed

                                            A lease gets renewed after half the duration of the lease.
                                            A 15 minutes lease will get renewed after 7 minutes.
                                            Known OS's like Windows, MAC etc are set up ask for leases lasting a day or two.

                                            Why 15 minutes ??
                                            Although, pfSense - the DHCP server - should handle that just fine.
