Hi there,

So, I think I have a workaround for my issue with sysupgrade and, from my
side, everything is more or less hunky dory ... but as Theo wrote, now I
have in the back of my mind "consider repairing" ...

So I just have to ask ... what then would be the supported/approved disk
layout for OpenBSD 6.8 on my Intel 8i5 NUC with the following storage:

1. A 2TB Samsung SSD: Currently identified as:
sd0 at scsibus1 targ 2 lun 0: <ATA, Samsung SSD 860, RVM0> naa.5002538e4109632a
sd0: 1953514MB, 512 bytes/sector, 4000797360 sectors, thin

2. A 512GB Samsung M.2 NVMe device: Currently identified as:
sd1 at scsibus2 targ 1 lun 0: <NVMe, Samsung SSD 970, 1B2Q>
sd1: 476940MB, 512 bytes/sector, 976773168 sectors

It's my main desktop system, running XFCE.

Currently df shows:
Filesystem     Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/sd1a     1005M    314M    640M    33%    /
mfs:6361       7.7G    331M    7.0G     4%    /tmp
/dev/sd1e     58.3G   91.3M   55.3G     0%    /var
/dev/sd1f      2.0G    1.2G    686M    64%    /usr
/dev/sd1g     1005M    251M    703M    26%    /usr/X11R6
/dev/sd1h     19.7G   11.0G    7.7G    59%    /usr/local
/dev/sd1k      5.9G    2.0K    5.6G     0%    /usr/obj
/dev/sd1j      2.0G    2.0K    1.9G     0%    /usr/src
/dev/sd1l      295G   10.0G    271G     4%    /fast
/dev/sd0h      1.8T    964G    758G    56%    /space

(Yeah, yeah, when I installed I made "/var" way too big for some reason.)

There is a swap area on sd1b of 64GB (twice the size of the RAM). At
install time I thought about not allocating any swap at all, but I wasn't
sure if that was a good idea or not.

That mount "/space" contains essentially all the non OS stuff in
subdirectories e.g. "home", "images", "videos", "music", "netapp". It
will eventually be just over 1TB (and then keep growing :). Too big to
fit on the NVMe stick.

The "/fast" mount is used for working/output data from apps e.g.
Wireshark, Influxdb, Telegraf, Grafana, NetApp.

How would 6.8 layout these drives differently. if I were to installed it,
from scratch, for example?

Output of disklabel below.

Feel free to ignore this email, since, if I am honest, I am unlikely to
start moving >1TB of data around for fun (maybe with the next hardware
refresh). But I would still be interested to hear how it would be done
differently.

Cheers,
Robb.
