> good lesson to NOT make multiple partitions :)

And when a rogue app fills up /var and kills 4 other apps that could

Enterprise-class servers should have many partitions to separate different
functions and protect apps from each other.  If you're arguing differently,
then your experience is insufficient to make an intelligent argument.
