Wait a second ? A limit as to how many partitions that can
be mounted ? I don't think so. I have 1 system here with 11
seperate partitions. And that does not count the CD ROM or the
floppy that I can also mount.
I have /, /home, /tmp, /usr, /usr/local, and a /var as my standard
partitions on ALL systems that I use (the only difference is how
large they get created).
