and patched after reinstall with zfs - all good now

Thanks for this - I thought I was going mad until I did what what open sourcers should always do and go to the discussion.

Yes - n100 is cheap hardware - but typically it works and after these fixes I expect it will happily work until another upgrade or two.

I now have a spare nvme as a backupp as I thought it was my hardware :-)

As the thankful recipient and user of open sourced software I am happy to perform the role of beta tester to iron out bugs - comes with the territory.

And I might add the fix is usually a lot faster than COTS software. Thanks OPNsense developers.

I've opted for zfs instead of ufs and will try the updates tomorrow (my wife insists that I keep it fixed atm so she can watch netflix)

I spent the day figuring stuff out for the N100 I have.  I moved from UFS to ZFS on a fresh install and was able to restore my config.  Here are the tunables and another idea that franco mentioned in a different thread:

N100 tunables
system>settings>Tunables
vm.pmap.pcid_enabled=0
hw.ibrs_disable=0
vm.pmap.pti=1
Also for N100:
Drop to the console and do
# pkg install os-cpu-microcode-intel

and reboot to activate...
# opnsense-shell reboot

And another one here - yes an n100.
