    Well now it seems #OpenBSD has me beat when trying to wipe and setup a new USB memory stick.I have never had issues under FreeBSD or Linux before but this is either me being extremely thick or ??justine@openbsd-desktop ~ $ doas fdisk -iy sd2Writing MBR at offset 0.justine@openbsd-desktop ~ $ doas disklabel -E sd2Label editor (enter '?' for help at any prompt)sd2> pOpenBSD area: 64-15728640; size: 15728576; free: 15728576# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg] c: 15728640 0 unusedsd2> apartition to add: [a]offset: [64]size: [15728576]FS type: [4.2BSD] ext2fssd2*> qWrite new label?: [y] yjustine@openbsd-desktop ~ $ ^Cas disklabel -E sd2justine@openbsd-desktop ~ $ doas disklabel sd2# /dev/rsd2c:type: SCSIdisk: SCSI disklabel: Flash Diskduid: 507add78df02feccflags:bytes/sector: 512sectors/track: 63tracks/cylinder: 255sectors/cylinder: 16065cylinders: 979total sectors: 15728640boundstart: 64boundend: 1572864016 partitions:# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg] a: 15728576 64 ext2fs c: 15728640 0 unusedjustine@openbsd-desktop ~ $ doas newfs_ext2fs /dev/rsd2a/dev/rsd2a: 7679.9MB (15728576 sectors) block size 4096, fragment size 4096 using 60 block groups of 128.0MB, 32768 blks, 16384 inodes.^Cjustine@openbsd-desktop ~ $justine@openbsd-desktop ~ $ doas newfs_ext2fs /dev/sd2anewfs_ext2fs: /dev/sd2a: block devicejustine@openbsd-desktop ~ $ doas newfs_ext2fs sd2a/dev/rsd2a: 7679.9MB (15728576 sectors) block size 4096, fragment size 4096 using 60 block groups of 128.0MB, 32768 blks, 16384 inodes.^Cjustine@openbsd-desktop ~ $justine@openbsd-desktop ~ $ doas newfs_ext2fs -I sd2a/dev/rsd2a: 7679.9MB (15728576 sectors) block size 4096, fragment size 4096 using 60 block groups of 128.0MB, 32768 blks, 16384 inodes.I used dd to wipe the USB then checked it was wiped. Then did the above and it all seems ok as per folk on the web and OpenBSD docs but newfs_extfs just sits there doing nothing.Anyone help or have a simple idiot sheet of what to do from wiping the USB memory stick to setting up an ext2 partition and formatting it. Mounting it will be the easy part.

    And I should add - * we are making final tweaks to labs and slides still* we will be covering #FreeBSD 14 as well as #OpenBSD, with labs supporting both.You could see the session as a Book of PF, 4th edition preview, however physical copies will not yet be available at the conference, see https://nxdomain.no/~peter/yes_the_book_of_pf_4th_ed_is_coming.html (also https://bsdly.blogspot.com/2025/07/yes-book-of-pf-4th-edition-is-coming.html) #bookofpf
