Default OpenBSD -current install mising half size of a 1 tb disk

Hi eveybody !

I've just installed OpenBSD -current on a new 1tb disk accepting autolayout and to my amazement :
Code:
$ df -h
Filesystem     Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/wd0a     1005M    293M    662M    31%    /
/dev/wd0k      298G    492M    282G     0%    /home
/dev/wd0d      3.9G   34.0K    3.7G     0%    /tmp
/dev/wd0f      2.0G    809M    1.1G    42%    /usr
/dev/wd0g     1005M    189M    766M    20%    /usr/X11R6
/dev/wd0h      9.8G    1.7G    7.7G    18%    /usr/local
/dev/wd0j      2.0G    2.0K    1.9G     0%    /usr/obj
/dev/wd0i      2.0G    2.0K    1.9G     0%    /usr/src
/dev/wd0e      7.9G   20.3M    7.5G     0%    /var
Why has Puffy missed the other half ? is it bound by ram ? I have 2g .. is it bound by cpu ? .....

Regards.

Does disklabel wd0 report the entire/expected disk size? If so, then the auto layout only used that much. If not, then something else is limiting what OpenBSD can access.

Hi marcolino !
Actually it does detect c=931.5G

You selected an automatic layout of the partitions. Your question in answered by the disklabel(8) man page, under "AUTOMATIC DISK ALLOCATION". There is a table that shows the partitions created and their minimum and maximum sizes.

Please review.

Thank you jggimi !! so .. /home can't take more than 300G (45% of disk space)
I must do a fresh install and manually set sizes.

You don't have to do a fresh install at all. Just create an additional partition and call it /home2 or /extra

Even easier: use growfs(8). The /home partition appears to have empty space beyond it. If so, it is a perfect candidate for using growfs.

To be clear, the procedure would be to: 1) dismount /home, 2) increase the size of the partition using disklabel, 3) use growfs, 4) use fsck, 5) remount /home.

Thanks J65nko ! Thanks jggimi !
Unfortunately I was in a hurry so I had done the fresh install before I read your posts but I will consider them in a future case.

I have a question please :
Is it better to create partitions that are being written much often (/var , .. , /tmp) before creating the rest (/usr/obj /usr/X11R6 ... ) ? would there be any inconvenience not following some 'assumed order' ( / --> swap --> /tmp --> /var --> etc )
Does skipping /dev/wd0f has any consequence ? I mean no f slice .. just e for /var and g for /usr .. etc .. I am asking this because I saw that an automatic disk allocation would use f for /usr ..

Code:
Filesystem     Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/wd0a     1008M    289M    669M    30%    /
/dev/wd0h      878G    2.4G    832G     0%    /home
/dev/wd0d      4.9G   34.0K    4.7G     0%    /tmp
/dev/wd0g     19.7G    5.4G   13.3G    29%    /usr
/dev/wd0e     19.7G    706M   18.0G     4%    /var

There was a time when ordering partitions had performance benefits -- earlier partitions would be located on faster portions of the disk platters, but hard drive manufacturers today are only providing an interface which is compatible to legacy BIOSes. What is going on internally is anyone's guess -- especially when it comes to terabyte drives. So, any benefits which may have existed from using any particular partition ordering in the past are not necessarily still realized today.

I tend to use a specific partition ordering out of habit, but this is a practice which has marginal, if any, value anymore.

Thanks for the information ocicat !

( for some reason -maybe thanks to FFS- OpenBSD seems so kind toward hard disks than windoze .. I used to replace disks much often when I used to use the latter )
