Can we get an upgrade to 25.7.2 that doesn't break our platform pls!!

[idiocracy]

I'm also thinking "what the actual f", my system has been nuked twice in two days. One by upgrading, the other by installing a plugin. How is it this unstable?

Don't we have that question in common? Do you expect the developers to also open forum threads asking WTF is going on with that hardware we don't even have for testing? And if we had it if we could do anything to solve it? Shall we check the compiled code for errors? Are there even errors in the compiled code? Do you have any answers for us? Please, do let us know.


Cheers,
Franco

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 patched after reinstall with zfs - all good now

Hello all

I assume all this discussion about N100 and UFS filesystem is a general recommendation for bare metal installations as well as for Proxmox VM?

As proposed in this thread, I newly installed OPNsense 25.1 in a new Proxmox VM with filesystem ZFS and successfully upgraded to 25.7. Thank you for sharing your experiences here!

When I initially installed OPNsense, I read that it is NOT recommended to use ZFS in a Proxmox VM because ZFS is already used for the Proxmox host.

Your articles should be taught in college level courses about OPNsense.

Fantastic HowTo - thank you very much, I will wipe it out and install it again
