Installing OpenBsd on large drives, over 2tb
Hi every one, I got a new (used) PC, desktop, it is a HP...at this point I don't think the specs matter much, so any way here is what I am wondering about:
The PC did not come with any HD, something I missed when I ordered it. So I am installing 2 hds. It actually could take 6 hd's, but 2 is more then enough for me. The thing is, all they have available are 2 drives that are some what larger then I planned, 1 is 3tb, the other 4tb. Does any one here have experience with installing OpenBsd to this size of drives ? I did some search and read about GPT, but get the impression it is not necessary, and think I would prefer not to use it. My thoughts are to let the installer pretty much use the default layout,..except I like a bigger K: /home partition : This is what I have on this PC now, : Code:
garry$ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/sd0a 1005M 106M 848M 11% / /dev/sd0k 496G 121G 351G 26% /home /dev/sd0d 3.9G 1.8M 3.7G 0% /tmp /dev/sd0f 2.0G 910M 1002M 48% /usr /dev/sd0g 1005M 211M 744M 22% /usr/X11R6 /dev/sd0h 9.8G 6.9G 2.5G 73% /usr/local /dev/sd0j 5.9G 2.0K 5.6G 0% /usr/obj /dev/sd0i 2.0G 2.0K 1.9G 0% /usr/src /dev/sd0e 9.7G 755M 8.5G 8% /var garry$ I am going to be just "aprox", on this, but if I use the "fdisk" e , and make the k: /home the same , 500G, I will still have close to 1400 G available. Could I add 2 more partitions, 700G each, IE: sd0l /storage and sd0m /storage-2 (note the l looks like a I to me, it is L but lowercase, l (if any letter is ok , maybe I use m, and n ?) Any comments, other ideas, experiences, etc ?
