true he went into detail. during install of os, the option of
*custom* allows you to 'slice and dice' a disk into however many
proportions of what ever size you desire.
custom allows creating partitions and setting mount points for _all_
partitions for what ever root path you want. this is how home2 is
how to mount and get /home2.

i never said you had to use one partition for any files.
multi partitions for / paths is not really "old school". it is a
feature of "custom". you define what each partition is use for.
ie, partition for boot, partition for swap, partition for /, partition
home, partition for usr, partition for var, partition for home2,
partition for what ever.
