I have been trying to resist the urge to add too many partitions
as well. I have zapped myself with winding up with no space
in one partition, & plenty of space in another, again.
Another issue, is that separate partitions, on the same drive,
can mean more head movement, which means slower disk access.
When I allocate partitions on more than one drive, I try to
put some heavily used partitions on each drive.
On my new server at work, w/ 512MB RAM, I am putting
/tmp on a ramdisk. That way, no disk activity takes place,
when Linux does a sync. Just to show my ignorance,
Linux still does a sync, right??
I've also been a "Unix person" for some 20 years.
