It usually makes no sense to have it on separated partitions.
Not sure what you mean here, but having /home on a separate partition
makes a lot of sense. And of course, swap is usually on its own
partition.
Yes, for the swap I agree, regarding to /home there aren't real advantages
on a home PC, when disk space was expensive it had a disadvantage, since
the user had to take care how to allocate the disk space.
Mounting / as r only isn't really needed, if you install a new Linux and
you want to keep /home, havnig it not separated from / isn't really a
disadvantage.
What advantages should there be? Why not directly go the completely
obsolete root and have a partition for /boot, /tmp, /var? Yes, it makes
sense for some machines, but please explain the benefits for most,
averaged home PCs.
We audio production folks for sure have reasons not only to use a
separated partition, but a completely separated second or third hard disk.
Would you recommend to do the same for people who don't do audio
productions, just for media player usage?
Regards,
Ralf
