Subject: hard drive partitions
A long time back, I thought I was ingenius by creating separate partitions,
650 mb each so that I can back them up to cd rom, thinking that I could
manage them better. But, I keep running out of space on each partition,
having to make symlinks to directories that I copied to partitions with space
to spare. I am thinking about discarding this whole approach, and to just
use one single partition for all programs, and to keep all data on a separate
large partition. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using huge
partitions as apposed to having them broken down into smaller partitions?

Thanks in advance.
