yeah, and while at it, it would be nice to use and format a complete disk like /dev/sdb for e.g. /home.
Just out of curiosity, what is the advantage of using the whole disk? Creation one partition and using that does not seem to be that much work.
The reason I heard is for network storage where you can resize the disk online. Then you just have to resize the filesystem and your're done.
Conceptually, I can't see a desirable outcome from this. If it's a filesystem on a whole disk, the only choices are do nothing and make it smaller, and if smaller, to what end? Without partitioning, any space freed would be inaccessible. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
