Recall he's talking about CF file systems.  The rules are very
different there, and space is at a premium.  I'd recommend only two
file systems: / and /tmp (or /var/tmp).  The only reason for a second
file system under these circumstances is to avoid writing to the flash
all the time, which doesn't do them any good.
