Hard Drive Partitions Part 2
A feature of PC – Compatible computer type hardware is that there can not be more than four (4) main partitions of the hard disk, but within these partitions or divisions there may be many more “logical partitions” which work in pretty much the same way and manners.
The upshot of this is that if you feel the need to organize your Linux system with many partitions , then you are free to do as you feel or wish. It is all personal preference. One reason why people sometimes do this is because a partition cannot overflow – that is there is a fixed limit to how much data a drive can take. On top of that in some operating systems the larger the drive the more space the same data will take on the hard drive. Smaller partitions can actually mean less storage space is used in full. Hence by creating partitions on the hard drive one can use a smaller less expensive hard drive or perhaps store more data on the same computer hard drive.
By putting data that is likely to grow in size on its very own partition you prevent it from getting to the point where in effect it takes over or limits the space needed at times as necessary for the operating system – virtual memory or room for updates.

- Our relationships with scents I suppose one reason I like perfume is that it is somewhat ethereal if not ephemeral.
