hi!
i installed my system with the automated disklabel layout, i just made
some size modifications. the disk is a 500G sata. i got a lot of space
at the end of the disk that now i want to use as storage. i can not add
the new label 'l' because disklabel says:
> a l
offset: [0]
The offset must be >= 0 and < 0, the limits of the OpenBSD portion
of the disk. The 'b' command can change these limits.
the response is the same for any specified number.
here is the current layout:

it displays the OpenBSD area: 0-0 wrong. what do you suggest to help
with this situation?
Show you fdisk output. Likely the A6 partiton is funny.

could the following work?
- use disklabel -e
- make a new line with label 'l':
l: SIZE OFFSET RAID 2048 16384 1 # /home/storage
- SIZE: c size - (sizes a,b,d-k + 63)
- OFFSET: size k + offset k
- RAID for softraid crypto
- :x
If your fdisk settings are ok, you can fisk the openbsd area wit the b
command. But first check what fdisk reports.
