You haven't made any arguments against putting everything on a single partition, just made a cheap "lolz, micro$oft windoze" analogy. |

I can understand wanting to put /home on a separate partition or /var/spool/mail or /var/www/sites but I don't understand this obsession with several different partitions for system files which are always going to be managed by portage and which I'm never going to move or mess with manually. |

Having /usr on a separate partition dates back to an era in which 10MB and 40MB harddisks were prohibitively expensive - they cost $1000s. |

Now we can host a complete Gentoo system on a $5 or $10 SDcard, I'm struggling to see the value. |
