Because it has made my life MUCH easier over the five or so big disk crashes on small servers without RAID I have been through. Because it made my life much easier while trying to switch filesystems, or moving systems to RAID1 on-line with minimum downtime. Because of quotas. Because system performance seems to be better with some filesystems if I segregate the big stuff (/home and others) from the small stuff (/usr, /...). Because I can use different filesystems and filesystem mount options according to what is in each partition (and I do just that)... and the list goes on. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
