and he wastes a lot of space, makes boot a lot longer and increases head
movement.
One big / (like 40 or 80GB) will be enough (plus 15mb /boot, 2GB swap, the
rest /home).
With that sizes, it is nearly impossible to fill / completly up. But a too
small /tmp or /var can make a boot impossible.
To put everything on its own partition was good, when harddisks were 2gb-10gb
big. But today it is just a waste of space and time.
