I don't think it really helps anything on modern systems and it means you have to fiddle more to see what size works best for each type of mount. In the long ago past I think people wanted some partitions to be ok if / or something filled up, but really, if the single / isn't big enough, we have disk, lets just make it bigger. ;) Just all IMHO. kevin
