Various comments/questions:
  • Is there a reason why you are not using amd(8) already available in the base system?
  • Provide the output of the following commmand:

    $ df -h
  • Lastly, I am not familiar with this application, but the code may not written in a POSIX fashion, or perhaps Linux-isms have crept in. The OpenBSD filesystem layout is different from that of Linux, & this might account for what you describe. For more details, study the hier(7) manpage.
  • OpenBSD has its own repository of third-party applications available for installation. Information can be found in Section 15 of the official FAQ. Unless you are very experiencee in porting software to different platforms, the project strongly urges users to use the pre-compiled packages made available by the project.
