Where else would they be better placed?
in /dev/sda2, also known as "hidden
rescue partition".
I have no desire to clutter my disk with endless numbers of
partitions,
indeed. only one additional partition is enough. and guess what ?
that's
what numberless laptop manufacturers do in order to store a ghost-ed
backup of the main partition
and placing them in the root partition is just plain stupid.
