Another one is filesystem corruption, or even human error. Placing everything |
| 18 |
into one single filesystem is a Bad Thing (tm). I.e. you can't mount vital |
| 19 |
parts of the system ro to prevent accidental deletion, or keep data or home |
| 20 |
volumes safely unmounted until they are really needed/accessed (by use of the |
| 21 |
automounter), you can't use different filesystems for different purposes, |
| 22 |
etc. |
