Speaking solely for myself, no. Years ago I routinely split /, /usr, and /var |
| 14 |
when setting up my FreeBSD systems, and found that it only ever caused |
| 15 |
problems when I could not get /usr or /var mounted when I needed them. |

At least since I switched to Gentoo, I've simply set up one partition with |
| 18 |
everything on it, and kept regular backups in case of failure. |

I clearly recognize that there are valid reasons to split your partitions, I |
| 21 |
have just never found any of them applicable to my situations. |
