....perhaps there are aome Unix folks here that could explain this
better? IIRC, Unix does not have a problem with partition sizes that
NT4 had. Yet, I'd be willing to bet my salary that a Unix admin would
bust out laughing at someone for purposing to not partition their HD
on a Unix server. (well I would not shake on it! :} ) Perhaps a Unix
person here could chime in....
One example I can think of is this. Say you do not partition your HD
up and you get some fluke code that starts filling up your mail spool
directory at an exponential rate. Ooops! If the mail spool dir sat
on a seperate partiton, then this would not be so bad.

>I agree that partitioning is a great tool to employ, but I think the
circumstances that necessitate partitioning are not as common as we
would
like to believe. Don't get me wrong, with Windows NT 4, we always
created
partitions, but all our reasons for doing so have been addressed with
Windows 2000. Given that partitions are generally an unwarranted
complication for us.
