Yes, but try setting up large partitions on a server where you *need*
exact sizes (like when setting up identical servers).

Setting up these partitions:

took about 15 minutes per server, simply because I had to sit on the
arrow keys for about 1 minute per partition.

That is a substantial cost (at consulting rates ...).
