On a boot disk, you're effectively limited to 14 partitions because the 15th is your swap space - partition "d".
While you can set up swap to use a filesystem path instead, this is intended for swapping to NFS from a diskless workstation, not for re-using the swap partition for a filesystem, and you may end up with an operational problem. As an example, swapping with a "d" partition may be required in order to fsck(8) your larger partitions. |

I've discovered when using a GPT partitioning scheme with OpenBSD, auto-layout creates a small i partition of type MSDOS. I guess this is for the EFI boot data.
To get GPT to work, I started with the auto-layout, deleted each partition except for i, then added partitions for my scheme. It's a bit amusing that for large disks, fewer usable partitions are available. <smirk> |

It has probably been a few years since I have looked at any of the project's mailing lists but based on what I had seen back then I would guess that many OpenBSD developers are born in a manner similar to that of an Uruk-hai: Saruman has his Orcs dig them out of the ground. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwinMu7-ZrI

This is becoming an epic tangent for the thread but Hanzer's interests (<smirk>) are in the application of second-order cybernetics to socio-technical infrastructures in a way that enables the efficient, effective systems engineering of synthetic information systems that host the institutional knowledge and governance of an organization/enterprise, such as a large FOSS project.
