OpenBSD Community, I've been experimenting with the OpenBSD 6.7 install process (though this "issue" is likely present in earlier version) and have noticed that the fdisk program in the installation program will destructively edit the hard drive upon selecting either MBR or GPT partitioning. I have repeatedly wiped a test hard drive's partitioning scheme as a consequence of this, in spite of only desiring to examine the partitioning scheme.
Is anyone receptive to a less-commital partitioning process for installation? It seems to me that the drive's partitioning scheme should not be re-written until the user has affirmed that the particular scheme and layout is what they want. Additionally, I have noticed that (per warnings in the installation program) GPT partitioning does not work on my system. Does anyone have insight into this issue, and if so is there any interest in a fix for GPT partitioning? -David Blevins
