Security implications

Each mounted filesystem may use different restriction options, such as nodev, nosuid, noexec. See mount(8).

Storage management implications

A filesystem's storage utilization is independent. One partition reaching its full capacity will not affect another. Only running applications that are writing to the "full" partition will be affected when it reaches its limits.

Managing of capacity and space requires planning and forethought, as it may also require scheduled downtime for any necessary reconfiguration.
