The limitation to 16 partitions definitely feels painful to me.
There is softraid(4). The only discipline that supports a single chunk is crypto. Make a couple of OpenBSD RAID partitions, set them up as crypto, partition those new crypto pseudo-devices, up to 16 partitions each, mkfs, mount, profit. From what I understand, crypto is not that big a performance hit if you have AES on your AMD64 intruction set. I just tried it on a small 16GB usb flash drive. The only issue was getting a clean reboot (rc.local to configure the pseudo-devices succeeds but mount happens too early). John
