With regard to disc partitioning, something else to consider when creating<br>
partitions is what you are going to put on them....<br>
<br>
For example, if you have a lot of important data that changes very dynamically,<br>
then despite having RAID of one sort or another you really need to back that<br>
data up frequently to other media, be it CD, DVD, external usb disc, tape,<br>
whatever.<br>
<br>
Having that data on a separate filesystem can speed up the time taken to<br>
backup considerably, especially if you do a partition-image copy using dd<br>
