Multiple paritions


Is there any advantage to putting /usr /var /tmp etc.. on different paritions like you do in the BSDs?

I would usually tend to have seperate partitions for any directories that get written to a lot automatically. This lets log directories such as /var fill up but not overflow your root partition.
