I would like to better document the reasons on why we set up systems the way we do in various places. One of the ones that I end up 'breaking' every now and then is putting in extra partitions on systems where our standard is to have just /. I come from a background where you really can't have enough disk partitions so I end up separating things like /var/log and /home out on boxes where there are many users. [Which then causes problems where we have assumed one partition]
