this has been an on going issue for me, though I've been on snapshots since I came onto OpenBSD.

Setup
Partitioning:
[code:1:b9a56fb4a9]
START END
#: id C H - S C H S
-------------------------------------------------------
0 A6 0 0 - 1 1300 254 63
1 A5 1301 0 - 1 2602 254 63
2 A9 2602 0 - 1 3903 254 63
(note: Partition 3 has not been included as i can't remember the values, went to the end of the disk)
[/code:1:b9a56fb4a9]

Disklabel:

the current output from fdisk is:

If I query say /dev/wd0d which is mounted at /tmp, this is the fdisk output

This reamins the same for other disklabel partitions, anyone have an idea as to what's going on?

Never mind, for now its fixed, I'll check next time i reboot to see if any changes occur. I re-wrote the partition table, always good to keep a written copy of your partition structure.
Also had to adjust the disklabel, as I changed a partition.

No idea about the wierd output though.

/me wonders where all the snapshot users are
