Maybe there was a misunderstanding about my first EMail. I have tried to install OpenBSD on a PC with 2 disks: sd0 is 32GByte, sd1 is 1.5TByte. Boot partition is on sd0, of course, but I also created a label, swap and a huge 1.4 TByte partition on sd1 to be mounted on /export. The installer selected ffs for this partition (even though it is obvious to everyone that this wouldn't work), and then it failed to initialize the partition. I cannot remember the error message, but it was fatal. Bug #1. Next the installer added /export to /etc/fstab, ignoring that the initialization failed. This is bug #2. I hope this helps.

4.7: huge partition at install time
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi folks, I tried todays installer CD of 4.7. Installation went fine, except for one problem: It failed to initialize the 1.4 TByte data partition, and on the first reboot it complained about a file system problem and entered single user mode. Surely no big thing, but I wonder whether it would be possible to use ffs2 by default, if the partition is too huge for ffs?

Not to mention that OpenBSD is so easy to install, you hardly need the documentation :-). That is your first mistake. For one thing, you mentioned a file system problem... what was the exact error? If you are trying to fsck that slice, you'll have to wait a long time, and you'll need a whole gob of RAM to fsck it. You'd do better splitting that into two disks. Search the mailing list for large drive issue... Bryan
