Me too. Sure it means having to play musical filesystems every so often, but
that's true no matter how big or unified your partitions are (ask an old
DOS hacker any day), and the downsides of One Or Two Big Partitions are (in my
experience) far more likely to catch up with you and do you harm on a regular
basis. Our SCO boxes (very soon to rest in peace, thanks Linus wherever you
are) have suffered on numerous occasions because someone was sloppy, filled up
the wrong partition, and there weren't any stopgaps to allow for that sort of
boo-boo. Suddenly processes hang all over the place, filesystems crash,
logins freeze, permissions appear to get wacky. . . My desktop machine's mount
table will always look like a laundry list, if only because it comforts me.
