I apologize for the newbie question, but how is one supposed to add a FAT32
partition? The following shows where I have verified the partitioning of a USB
flash drive containing two partitions through fdisk. One for OpenBSD (type A6)
& the rest FAT32. Yet when entering the disklabel, I am not seeing the FAT32
partition (typically partition 'i'), and disklabel doesn't allow adding it
either. What is the trick for making this visible?
$ sudo fdisk sd0
Disk: sd0 geometry: 124/255/63 [2002944 Sectors]
Offset: 0 Signature: 0xAA55
Starting Ending LBA Info:
#: id C H S - C H S [ start: size ]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
0: 06 26 0 1 - 123 254 63 [ 417690: 1574370 ] DOS > 32MB
1: 00 0 0 0 - 0 0 0 [ 0: 0 ] unused
2: 00 0 0 0 - 0 0 0 [ 0: 0 ] unused
*3: A6 0 0 33 - 25 254 63 [ 32: 417658 ] OpenBSD
$ sudo disklabel -E sd0
# Inside MBR partition 3: type A6 start 32 size 417658
Treating sectors 32-417690 as the OpenBSD portion of the disk.
You can use the 'b' command to change this.

No space left, you need to shrink a partition
