 * Choose the best performing filesystem for each partition or volume.
 * The entire system cannot run out of free space if one defunct tool is continuously writing files to a partition or volume.
 * If necessary, file system checks are reduced in time, as multiple checks can be done in parallel (although this advantage is more with multiple disks than it is with multiple partitions).
 * Security can be enhanced by mounting some partitions or volumes read-only,  (setuid bits are ignored),   (executable bits are ignored) etc.
