And in general, don't use -O2 either, as OpenBSD switches from ffs to ffs2 when you get big enough on its own. Just let it do its magic, the days of having to twist knobs for file systems should have been over quite some years ago. (Exception: when you make a partition small enough to be ffs, but plan to growfs it later to a bigger size -- growfs works on ffs and ffs2, but doesn't convert from one to the other. Oh poo. Just realized I forgot to do this recently... ) Nick.
