How much memory do you lose; what advantages do you gain?
I partition only for major types of file, or for specific file access reasons.
A CD image gets its own partition (or HD), mail gets its own partition (both
very large and small files being continually altered, hence I don't want the
filesystem mixing with other data), files for the BBS, etc.

If there is a need, fine. But don't go doing things like at partition for
pictures named A-F, another for G-M - just make directories ;-)
ST> (well 3821 meg after PFS has nicked some!:-/))
PFS takes less admin blocks than FFS, except FFS allocates space as it fills
the disk and PFS allocates at format time.
