I was going to comment on the high labour costs of creating,
managing and resizing all these partitions (vs buying a separate
120GB SSD for each partition, at $70 a pop).

But in the world where you have *both* juniour *and* seniour sysadmins,
maybe it is not such a big issue...

As somebody wrote somewhen:
the life purpose of sysadmins is to create continued employment for sysadmins.
