howdy. my perusal of the obsd faq and google search results leave me with a question:
how to incorporate the unused 40+GB on my hard drive into my obsd system? the drive configuration is:
$ fdisk /dev/rsd0c
Code:

fdisk indicates a geometry with 60801 cylinders, the last one used being 54945 which leaves 5856 cylinders unused. i had left this space thinking that i could use it as a pool of drive space to draw from later using lvm (for linux systems) and (g)vinum on the obsd system.
it appears to me that i am out on a limb? open to suggestions.
