[CLUE-Tech] Multiple file systems on one partition.

[gager at mho.com]

Hello all,
I am doing some testing with Linux in a SAN environment and happened upon 
something rather odd to me.
When the system has LUN mapped disks attached to it I can create multiple 
filesystems on one partition which I cannot do with Solaris.
Below is a copy of my fstab so you see what I mean.
Is this practiced in production Linux environments or do most folks stick with 
the "one partition-one filesystem" scheme?

Thanks in advance.

Robert
