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 :-)
