Well, that rather depends... For some people, *efficiency* can mean not
sitting through an entire huge drive do a fsck thanks to only one
partition needing checking. Or using different file systems and/or
mount options on the different partitions. Or putting certain
partitions into faster parts of the drive. Or putting certain mount
points on partitions that aren't going to get fragmented by other
things.
Some snippage when you reply, PLEASE!
I don't know what snippage means but
efficiency to me means faster
access to information on the drives. Only one of the things on your list
of "efficiencies" speaks to that kind of efficiency.
