We have less limitation on partitioning these days, so /usr/obj
was obvious- actually had that one before.  I chose /usr/src and
/usr/local as well, and expect that this was unimportant unless
moving into NFS or some special circumstance.

I have looked at some of the things that folks are doing with /var
on ZFS.  I understand that ZFS is not within the scope of this
list; however, does anyone have some neat ideas about partitions
under /var?

Particularly, I am interested in /var/crash, /var/tmp, and /tmp.
I would not personally have any use for a crashdump, unless it
would be to pass it along to someone who could make use of it.  I
basically want the partitions to be set up logically.

Typically etc, usr, tmp, var, home, and / have been enough.  /usr/obj
is an excellent addition and so does someone have recommendations
of further refining my scheme for OpenBSD51?

I used /altroot for the first time on OpenBSD50, but had to modify
fstab like this:
#bb128e900f20094a.d /altroot ffs xx 0 0
/dev/wd0d /altroot ffs xx 0 0

I guess that /var/crash should be crafted to memory and that /var/tmp as well as /tmp can actually be very small?
