That's like saying that I leave the lawnmower outside so that we don't trip over it in the lounge.

I've heard some arguments for using raw partitions but that isn't a good one. Just put your tablespaces in their own filesystem(s) if you want to segregate then from the other files and other users.

And put the lawnmower in the shed.
