This creates a lot more partitions than other distributions. Often times it gives more space to /home than I'd like especially if the installation is going to be a server. &lt;/br&gt;<br /> Fortunately you can (E) edit the auto-layout. When you press (E) you get dropped to a fdisk like command prompt. &lt;/br&gt;<br /> Here are some helpful commands&quot;<br /> ? Help<br /> a Add partition<br /> d Delete partition<br /> p Print partition table<br /> z Delete all partitions<br /> <br /> The default partition layout looks like this:<br /> a: /<br /> b: swap<br /> c: reserved/unused<br /> d: /tmp<br /> e: /var<br /> f: /usr<br /> g: /usr/X11R6<br /> h: /usr/local<br /> i: /usr/src<br /> j: /usr/obj<br /> k: /home<br /> <br /> On servers that won't host many users I prefer to make /var the last partition so I can have it use 100% of the remaining space. You can do this by specifying '''100&amp;''' for the partition size.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == Reference ==<br /> https://dev.to/nabbisen/openbsd-manual-partitioning-at-installation-4cif<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:OpenBSD]]</div>
