Re: Please clarify /usr partition size for 6.9 release
Ian, Thanks for the reply. I figured maybe it was low issue for people and just wanted the list to know I resolved it so no time spent on it... I reread the upgrade guide, and then looked at past upgrade guides and came to the conclusion the documentation just said you only needed a partition for /usr greater in size than 1.1G, which I have (not that you needed 1.1GB of free space on the partition). So I went ahead and upgraded to 6.9, no issues noted... The issue really is this: I set up this router years ago when the install documentation must have stated a [recommended] partition size for /usr of 2.0GB. 2.0GB is the current partition size for /usr on this router. I could be wrong on this. Compared to other partitions on this box /usr is far smaller than anything else... /usr, right after I finished upgrading to 6.8 (all patches installed, ports/packages upgraded, sysclean ran, etc) had 783M free. After the same process going to 6.9, /usr has 813M free. I really was/am concerned about running out of space on /usr. I still am, and I could swap my /tmp and /usr partitions if I knew how to do this...and, if the thought is /usr would fill up or cause issues in future upgrades. I also have a /usr/obj, /usr/src, /usr/X11R6, etc., partitions. All those have ample space.

Please clarify /usr partition size for 6.9 release
My partition size for /usr is 2.0G. Currently using 1.1G, and df is reporting 783M available. Can I upgrade from 6.8 release to 6.9 release without the upgrade failing due to lack of space in /usr? I'm thinking I'm ok. In the future, would it be advisable to increase this partitions size? I could swap /usr (2.0G) for /tmp (3.9G), if I had a process to do this. Thanks in Advance! Jay

Re: change partition size impossible?
Problem solved. I did a re install and edit the filesystem first delete all partitions from d and above than add all partitions and give the size I want. and add mounted parts. thanks again On 24-02-16 wk8 08.20, Jaap Bosman wrote: Hello Is it possible to change partition size in OpenBSD 5.9?

Are these 21 GBs the original virtual disc's capacity, or did you enlarge it afterwards? In the latter, you would have to extend the OpenBSD partition to the new sector boundary, effectively enlarging it, repartition your disklabel(8) and possibly growfs(8) your filesystems. Norman. PS: Your OBSD installation is antiquated. Consider upgrading.

mount_mfs partition size (sparc64)
Hi, when trying to create a mfs file system I can never get is larger than 1 GB even though I actually got >6 GB of free RAM. Depening on how close I get to the 1 GB barrier I see the following error messages. The last attempt was successfull, but that doesn't mean that,l even though it was successfull now, it will be again... the limit seems to be varying. # mount_mfs -s 2097000 swap /mnt && umount /mnt mount_mfs: mmap: Cannot allocate memory # mount_mfs -s 2096900 swap /mnt && umount /mnt mount_mfs: calloc failed # mount_mfs -s 2096833 swap /mnt && umount /mnt mount_mfs: cannot allocate I/O buffer # mount_mfs -s 2096832 swap /mnt && umount /mnt ... wait some time ... # mount_mfs -s 3096832 swap /mnt && umount /mnt mount_mfs: mmap: Cannot allocate memory The manpage of mfs says the following: Note however that for mount_mfs the practical limit is based on datasize in login.conf(5), and ultimately depends on the per-arch MAXDSIZ limit. Well, the datasize is set ti infinity for root (daemon) so it must be MAXDSIZ that is set in /usr/src/sys/arch/sparc64/include/vmparam.h and describes as values in byte. for 64 bit #define MAXDSIZ (512L*1024*1024*1024) /* max data size */ for 32 bit #define MAXDSIZ (1*1024*1024*1024) /* max data size */ What does that 512L for 64 bit mean? However, if I read that correctly, I should be able to allocate way more than just ~1 GB of memory for each MFS partition? Is anyone here able to enlighten me? Is ~1 GB the limit or do I miss something?
