Putting /home and /var on separate partitions can increase isolation even further, that is true. On desktop systems, directories outside /usr and /home contribute not much to the total disk space used. So if you have one / and one /usr partition, the total amount of data that would be exposed to corruption is not much different from having all of /, /home, /usr and /var separate. On servers, it might make sense to keep /var separate depending on which services write there. Best regards, Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn
