Anyone know the status/plans of TRIM support in OpenBSD? I poked around
a bit in ahci.c and scsi.c, but nothing pops out at me (I also don't
really know what I'm looking for).
Thanks,

And no, TRIM isn't supported.
My concern is the procedure we've been using to deploy OpenBSD machines.

Hello everyone,
This is, I'm sure, a naive question, so bear with me. What is the
purpose of /usr/libexec? I see from hier(7) that it has something to do

Ok-- it turns out I am even more naive than I previously thought. I can
see that /usr/libexec is not in root's path on my machine (maybe that's
why the 'usr' part is in there?).
But why not? /sbin/init is
