Well, to be fair I did post this after trying to work on this n100 for about 10 hours with no success. But yes, I did write this thread with a hot head so. Anyway, that being said, I did install the platform using zfs and putting those tunables in first and rebooting before upgrade. Went smooth without a hitch. Thanks for the link meyergru.

Ok.
1) N100 is not cheap for a home network.

2) all three tunables have been added.

3) and actually thank you I learned something. I thought you could only use zfs for raids, not for single drives so there's that.

I'll try to reinstall 25.7 with zfs over the weekend and do the tunables, then try to update 25.7.2. Thanks for helping a frustrated old man.

Nice. So let's deploy an update to a stable platform that breaks it for a bunch of users then throw your hands up and say "not my problem". good job..

Running UFS. This is not my first rodeo with OPNsense. Honestly, been using it for years now without hiccup using suricata and adblockhome for my home lab. N100 is actually quite fine: Intel chipset, Intel NICs, lots of RAM and NVME so don't know what you're talking about Franc. Lots of people use N100, it's a good option. Honestly have 2 as I also run CAKE on OpenWRT on a symmetrical gigabit line without issue. I'm just saying, I have backups for a reason, but I can't use them if I can't install the platform that the plugins are looking for. I wouldn't have to re-install the platform if the 25.7.2 update didn't kill my Opnsense software after install. Yes I understand it's opensource and "community" and all that and no software is absolutely perfect. BUT. When you release an update that breaks the entire platform and then you leave the user unable to not only update (which isn't THAT big of a deal) but then the plugins won't install either because of said update not being implemented, it's a bit of an annoyance to put it subtly.

I can't upgrade from 25.7 to 25.7.2 on my N100 without breaking OPNsense. It literally reboots itself and then won't go into the GUI. I'm having to re-install every single time I try. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!

I also have a N100 and cannot upgrade to 25.7.2. I have tried fresh install of 25.7 and also 24.1 (upgrading all the way back up to 25.7) and it still hangs and reboots the box, leaving opnsense crippled and not able to fully start up anymore.

I've tried using 24.1 and upgrading up to 25.7.2 to no avail. Once it tries to update python it just reboots the unit and then fails to load into the GUI. Looking at the console (using DP) it screws up the journal I guess? I dunno but now I won't be able to update from 25.7 to 25.7.2 and get the plugins I need.

I've tried a fresh install on N100 and I'm getting this error. I cannot get the update to work, therefore unable to install any plugins.

After a fresh install of Opnsense I added the et pro telemetry edition plug-in. However, the place where I would insert my token is not showing up at the bottom of the download page:

Services>Intrusion Detection>Administration>Download

Edit: The Snort VRT plug-in does show up where it's supposed to when installed.
