Thanks for your replies. I learned a lot from them. I probably end up
using multiple larger but manageable partitions until I learn enough
about ZFS or another alternative. At least I know what issues I
currently have. Maybe a manual fsck would be appropriate to see if
checking the disks is

That makes sense. You would have a lot of disk thrashing if you tried to check
two partitions in parallel on the same drive.

By default OpenBSD will attempt to fsck all three partitions in parallel. See
this thread from last month where I mentioned a change t
I'm trying to figure out the best way to setup a home file server. I have a
700MHz Celeron with 512MB RAM (maxed out), a gigabit network adapter and 1.5TB

and samba. The 1.5 TB hard drive is partitioned in three equa
