Don't partition MacOX drives. No need to.

In addition to the posts above, here's another reason. Placing your iTunes, iPhoto, iCal, Address Book, Bookmarks, etc, etc, whatever you want, on a separate partition that has ownerships turned off has many benefits. This is the easiest way to share these libraries among multiple users (like an entire trusting family) on your computer. And no, "sharing" them via their respective Preferences does not accomplish the same thing. Everyone should be able to change the libraries.

Great for sharing documents, too.
