As far as I know, is good to create partitions for that directories.
Example: /var is a log directory, if it is in the / (root) partition it
will consume megas and megas of disk. If the disk if full and an
application tries to create a log file it will halt your system. So a good
strategy is to

It depends. This is also a FAQ.

Sure, but it depends if there are any other partitions after /home and
/var.

On some distributions, /var is symlinked to /usr. On Redhat, /var is
off of the / tree, so it'll necessarily have to compete with the 100
megs that are in /.

mounted during the boot.

I'm not sure i understand how this works exactly.. if you have a small

it find the /etc directory with the f
