Are you saying that you don't have to partition single volume drives? You
can just run mke2fs on the raw device? Like this.
mke2fs /dev/sdb
mount /dev/sdb /mnt/morespace

Yes, you can.
It may confuse some installation scripts, and you cannot have LILO
there, but there is no need for partitions. It is just a 80 GB floppy :-)
