Placing the content on a separate partition offers some amount
of added difficulty to an invader, but do not believe it is very great.
Mostly that is a measure that will guard you against misuse of the
accounts granted permissions in your web server and/or your
misconfiguration of them
If someone does get in, and gets ahold of the processes, they
will have little difficulty walking around your system.
