    One of the suggested setups is to provide home with its own partition.
    And even though you don't use it it is not so uncommon.

    This sounds like a disaster --- partition magic works with MS
    partitions or in FBSD terms slices -- to the best I my knowledge it does
    not know about BSD style partitions.

    I'd also be very surprised if it is able to merge BSD file systems
    non-destructively.
