But I've never done it for one reason I consider good: by having everything in one partition the free space is all in one "pool", and can be used by any branch. When you're out of space, you really are--there isn't some on some other device or partition that can't be allocated. Of course, these systems aren't servers that get unrestricted demand from a multitude of users.
