 You don't *need* one, but because I was writing to /home/www/ via an
automated script (for mirroring ftp.yellowdoglinux.com), I wanted to make
sure that the OS wouldn't tank due to the drive filling up. Often people
will mount /var/ on a different partition as well so that rogue log files
won't fill up the root partition.

Cheers,

Chris
