Hi,
I have a OpenBSD 6.0 GENERIC.MP system set up as follows:
* sd0 is a physical harddrive. It has a "b" partition for swap, and
an "a"
partition for a softraid. The softraid is represented by sd1 .
* sd1 is the softraid. It has some UFS partitions (a, d, etc.).
Importantly, it has no swap partitoin (which, if it would have
existed,
would have been named "b" by convention), as the system's swap is on
sd0
already.
To the best of my awareness this is a conventional and intended
OpenBSD
setup.
No, the convention is to put swap onto the root disk.
But.. isn't "sd0" the what you call the "root disk" in this case?
Also, if I would have put the swap on "sd1", then its contents would be
encrypted doubly. Isn't that a bit wasteful.
Anyhow, ok if this is the case then thank you very much for highlighting
it.
Is the fact that this is the convention declared or reflected anywhere
else (than in the fact that 'savecore' breaks if you not follow it)?
