        You should post information about the hardware where you're running pfSense (Motherboard, CPU, RAM, HDD…).

        I'd test RAM (Memtest86) and HDD (Check SMART info) to exclude any hardware defects.

            You mentioned using VirtualBox, what are the exact VM configuration parameters?

              Hmm. VirtualBox…

              FreeBSD/i386 10.3-RELEASE running as a guest operating system on VirtualBox can have a problem with disk I/O access. It depends on some specific hardware configuration and does not depend on a specific version of VirtualBox or host operating system.

              It has been reported that instability may be present on virtual machines running on other hypervisors, such as Xen or KVM.

              It causes various errors and makes FreeBSD quite unstable. Although the cause is still unclear, disabling unmapped I/O works as a workaround. To disable it, choose Escape to loader prompt in the boot menu and enter the following lines from loader(8) prompt, after an OK:

              set vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed=0
              boot
              

              Note that the following line has to be added to /boot/loader.conf after a boot. It disables unmapped I/O at every boot:

              vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed=0
              

              Source: https://www.freebsd.org/releases/10.3R/errata.html

              On pfSense you'd do as it says but the line should be added at /boot/loader.conf.local instead of /boot/loader.conf

                Is the code in /boot/loader.conf.local loaded in addition to or instead of /boot/loader.conf?

                  In addition.
