The / partition was only set up with 3.0G on a huge hard drive
(bad design IMO)
I always setup a / partition as small as possible.
Perhaps the installers followed the same philosophy. In that case I would
probably want the /root
directory in another partition in case large files needed to be created.
You need /root to be on / for when you login under single-user mode
You just don't want things writing to /root, this typically means don't
run them as root
