yes and no. on a laptop they do no make a lot sense, on a server they do. if you have some users which want to use a server, you might want some security.. so e.g. some large mails cannot fill your disk and block other services, or processes which misbehave can fill your disk quickly. in such enviroments its useful to use partitions in a size as needed, and keep the "free" space not too large. Nowadays using LVM you can always resize the drives online as needed. -- Florian Reitmeir E-Mail: [email protected] Tel: +43 650 2661660 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
