If you have a hulking big huge drive, then having to resize things
probably isn't going to be an issue.  And with big drives, you might
want to partition so that any system crashes are more limited, and the
post recovery takes less time (you're far less likely to have problems
with a partition that was read-only, at the time).

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
