Hello, Folks, Im reviewing our filesystem setup for OpenBSD CPEs that we deploy in the field
in order to minimise the impact of Power Outages / Customer interference on the boxes, we install a 4G root partition / and a 2GB /usr/local (to allow the wxallowed flag for the filesystem) we use mfs for /tmp and /var so that there the probability that there is a filessytem write to the SSD is reduced (so that power failures dont cause file system corruption) we use the following fstabl #########begin /etc/fstab/########### /dev/sd0a / ffs rw 1 1 /dev/sd0d /usr/local ffs rw,wxallowed,nodev 1 1 swap /tmp mfs rw,nosuid,noexec,nodev,-s=256000,-P=/persist-fs/tmp 0 0 swap /var mfs rw,nosuid,noexec,nodev,-s=512000,-P=/persist-fs/var 0 0 swap /dev mfs rw,nosuid,noexec,-P=/persist-fs/dev,-i=2048,-s=102400 0 0 #########end /etc/fstab/########### and the persist-fs folders are created by installing OpenBSD, installing packages and running the following commands to copy /var /tmp and /dev to a persistent location on / ###setup commands ############# mkdir -p /persist-fs/dev mkdir -p /persist-fs/tmp mkdir -p /persist-fs/var cp -Rp /var/* /persist-fs/var cp -Rp /tmp/* /persist-fs/tmp cp -p /dev/MAKEDEV /persist-fs/dev/ cd /persist-fs/dev/ /persist-fs/dev/MAKEDEV all any feedback welcome, are there other folders that could be heavily written to ? is there shortcommings I have ommited swap (because of flash and ssd wear concerns) I hope this helps...
