OpenBSD 6.7 amd64 I'm dealing with a VPS on KVM with the disk having been recently expanded from 50 >> 80 GB.
virtio1 at pci0 dev 4 function 0 "Qumranet Virtio Storage" rev 0x00 vioblk0 at virtio1 scsibus2 at vioblk0: 2 targets sd0 at scsibus2 targ 0 lun 0: <VirtIO, Block Device, > sd0: 81920MB, 512 bytes/sector, 167772160 sectors I want to expand the root partition as part of revising the partition layout but I'm not sure why I don't seem to see the full disk capacity in the disklabel editor. After booting to bsd.rd, I create the device node for sd0 as it seems to be absent in ramdisk /dev. Then I run `fdisk -i sd0' with this resulting MBR layout: # fdisk sd0 Disk: sd0 geometry: 10443/255/63 [167772160 Sectors] Offset: 0 Signature: 0xAA55 Starting Ending LBA Info: #: id C H S - C H S [ start: size ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0: 00 0 0 0 - 0 0 0 [ 0: 0 ] unused 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 1 2 - 10442 254 63 [ 64: 167766731 ] OpenBSD Disklabel shows reasonable total sectors: # disklabel sd0 # /dev/rsd0c: type: SCSI disk: SCSI disk label: Block Device duid: e9f2e2b690e05a87 flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 63 tracks/cylinder: 255 sectors/cylinder: 16065 cylinders: 7179 total sectors: 167772160 boundstart: 64 boundend: 115330635 drivedata: 0 16 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg] a: 103059328 64 4.2BSD 2048 16384 38128 # / b: 524288 103059392 swap # none c: 167772160 0 unused d: 11746944 103583680 4.2BSD 2048 16384 12958 # /usr/local Next I run `disklabel -E sd0'. In the disklabel editor, I have deleted my 'b' and 'd' partitions to then try to (c)hange the 'a' partitiion. At this point I see: Partition a is currently 103059328 sectors in size, and can have a maximum size of 115330571 sectors. ...so I seem unable to grow any partitions into this expanded disk. Is this something to do with it being a virtual disk in a certain configuration? And is this a case where I may need to set the disk boundaries in disklabel(8) as described (although I don't know if this fits description of "ports with fdisk(8) partition tables where..."): b Set OpenBSD disk boundaries. This option tells disklabel which parts of the disk it is allowed to modify. This option is probably only useful for ports with fdisk(8) partition tables where the ending sector in the MBR is incorrect. The user may enter ‘*’ at the “Size” prompt to indicate the entire size of the disk (minus the starting sector). This is useful for disks where the fdisk partition table is incapable of storing the real size. Note: data may become corrupted if boundaries are extended such that they overlap with other resident operating systems.
