[net.unix-wizards] big vs small partitions

From:  Howard Alt <alt@aids-unix>

What (if any) are the advantages/disadvantages of big partition
sizes vs lots of small partition sizes.  

The sizes in question are one partition that is 376Meg vs two
or 3 100+Meg.

The system is 4.1, emulex controller, 2 eagles, and 6Meg of memory
on a 780.

					Thanks,
						Howard.
