This helps a little, but not a lot. And it creates some extra work and some extra sources of errors: You'll need Symlinks on the "real" fs or a user-dependend storage path in LDAP. But anyway, those partitions are tooo big for short filesystem checks (or if you make them smaller, you'd have too many). And, anyway: As I explained I'm interested in zero-downtime-checks, which wouldn't work just with several partitions.
