In general I wouldn't trust random forums for information about OpenBSD. People tend to repeat stuff long after its true. Send a message to misc@ or tech@openbs

Just make sure your partitions are 4k aligned to minimized write amplification. Many openbsd devs use SSDs. I've used one with openbsd for years without problems. Honestly it's a requirement given the shortcomings of ffs.
- peatmoss 12y agoI've been away from OpenBSD for a while, and was just googling to try to get a starting basis. Thank you for pointing me to the 4k alignment issue. This thread (http://openbsd.7691.n7.nabble.com/SSD-disk-alignment-td75046.html http://openbsd.7691.n7.nabble.com/SSD-disk-alignment-td75046...) seems to suggest that OpenBSD will try to align to 4k boundaries by default. Is that correct?
